Sidenote. My wifes Grandpa, who was in the Kriegsmarine in WW2 gave me a book by Udet. "Mein Fliegerleben". It's about WW1 and his ventures around the world in the interwar years.

And...it's a hell of a read. Only problem is that it's printed with some gothic letters so it's a bit slow to read. And in German, of course. Hacking through it though.
Print is from 1935.

Sometimes the Germans baffle me. Writing a book in 1935 and printing it in gothic text, - I'd have preferred RUNES. Gives me endless headaches reading, and I still read so slow, that I could just as well write it and/or translate into english to keep the thread.
Viking, - wanna co me on that one? I'm game, for the winter.
Pop me an email or email adress and I'll send you some scans.

BTW, 1935 = no copyright, yes?

I would think so. Bomber Command or USAAF may have taken care of the publisher as well.

I'll do a short writeup on the ME 410 when I find the time (and willpower) to do it.
