Re: Hptm Gerhard Wendt
Hi,
just in the case that Kuno Wendt is the "Cuno Wendt", I personally have known. He lived until 1999 in northern Germany. After being seriously wounded in Russia, he came to Africa and served as a shuttle/staff pilot (I think it was a Me 110) for high ranking officers. From there a came to Italy. I am not so sure to remember right what happened until the end of war. After the german surrender he certainly was POW, but I think in 1946 he was already student at a University in Germany and became teacher at a little school. When active flying was permitted again, he was among the first relaunching flying respectively gliding in Germany. He was instructor for several hundred young pilots, until he had to give it up about 1988-90. I think he made his last flight as PIC in 1994. One of his sons and one of his grandchildren became pilot of the Lufthansa. Best regards Xerzis
