Wolfgang Spate in Post-WWII Life,Former Me-163,Pilot

Are there any pictures of Wolfgang Spate that were shown in Post World War II era especially when he was in Bundeswehr Luftwaffe uniform that can be shown to me? Or in reunion with former JG-400 Me-163 pilots in the 1990s? The 'a' of Spate should have two dots over it. Thank you.

I remember seeing a photograph of the reunion of JG-400 pilots while I was on line, The reunion was not large. I remember a handsome white-haired gentleman in the middle,no sideburns, who could be Spate. Spate had 99 air to air kills and a few unconfirmed air to air victories during WWII.

I'm still anxiously waiting for some pictures of Wolfgang Spate during post-World War II era. I remember seeing Wolfgang Spate (two dots over the a of his last name) in a picture of a book that I can't remember. He was tall with short white hair without sideburns and clean shaven before he passed away in the middle of 1990's.

Fully recommend you TEST PILOTS, written by himself.

You will find a picture of himself in the post-war. This is an amazing book.

I read that book "Test Pilots". I prefer to see the pictures of Wolfgang Spate (two dots over the a of the name Spate) after World War II on the computer screen of this forum. Show some pictures please on line.
