One new book
« on: April 04, 2005, 02:59:33 PM »
Hi all.
Got this goodie by mail, from my wife's grandpa.
He had it on his 15th birthday, in 1936!
Title "Mein fliegerleben" by Ernst Udet!!!!

Wadda goodie. Lots of picture copies, such as autographed pictures to Uded by Rickenbacker, Bishop and Fonck, lots of other pics as well. It's in German, well, I can live with that, but the text is gothic....

Makes me wonder what it's worth.

Anyway, I'll try some scannings, and will be posting some pics from it later.
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)
