"reimahg"

[Patrick Brion]

Here is the first question.

In order to take the Me262 off the Walpersberg Mountain, a runway had to be built. "Runway" is in this case a bad choice, since the Me262 pilots didn't had the oppurtunity to land again. The track itself was too short and only with boosters were they able to have a safe take-off.

These pilots were also known as "Überführungspiloten" or "transfer pilots".

Here are the names of them, as I currently know them

Flugkapitän Ritz
Tippel
Zechmeister
Mittelstädt (who came to Kahla last year)
Fricke
Born

Does anyone have information about these pilots? I do have a number of documentens, like from the AGO Works in Oschersleben, where probably most of them came from.
