Re: Old Bold Luftwaffe pilots meet in Speyer
Hi John,
Ernst himself tells always the story, that he - due to his tallness - was the wrong jockey in the aircrafts of those days. Normally he goes over it with a joke about smaller pilots: "When you see a Bf 109 passing by without a pilot in it, than you can be sure it's Walter Schuck..." Nevertheless, Ernst could manage his flights in a Bf 109 as well as in a Fw 190, but please don't ask me how comfortable he felt in them. All the best, Horst |
