Friedrich Bonsack

When he is killed in the crash of his He111 on 13/12/41 in France, Friedrich Bonsak is rather old for a pilot during the war, even if it is still the beginning: he is 36 year old.

This makes think that he had probably been a pilot several years before (civil?), and that there should be some history about him.

Can you help find some information about this pilot ?

Thanks
GC

Re: Friedrich Bonsack

Gilles,

My own guess is that he may have been a former Flight Instructor. Do not know if the actual German Civilian Aviation authority do have archives from before the war. MAYBE this can be a good start to find more about this pilot...maybe.

Friendly yours,
Adriano Baumgartner

Re: Friedrich Bonsack

This is good idea Adriano, thanks for the path.

However, I wonder how access the archives concerning civil flight instructor.

Any tip, guys ?

Bon week-end Adriano!!!
