RobS Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 (edited) Hi everyone, Anyone able to shed light on the identity of this, quite highly decorated Saxon pilot? A leading Saxon aviation historian was unable to do so, but I have still not quite given up - I am sure I have seen his face before somewhere. Die Hoffnung stirbt zuletzt! Thanks a lot Edited December 3, 2020 by RobS Stupidity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
