Douglas Jr. Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Fran?ois,Amazing group! It is a real colletor?s dream: a highly decorated fighter ace. It is a shame that he had such terrible death, but war was specially cruel on Eastern front. I recall to have read a very vivid account from an ace about his despair when his plane?s engine failed behind the Russian lines. Fortunately he managed to reach the german positions.Allow me to put two images of Eckerle that I personally enjoy.Once more congratulations.Douglas.
