Just read about this over on TOCH Erich. A true gentleman by all accounts. He will be sadly missed.
A safe journey on your last flight Herr Rall.

Erich - simply, he was one of my favorite people . I held in in the same esteem I had for for Robin Olds and my father.
Salute to a warrior and one helluva man!

Very sad news, I saw him only once when I went to listen his lecture but has seen him a couple times in TV. And of course I have read his memoirs. My impression on him was that he was a modest but lively old gentleman. In TV programs he also showed that he was witty and humorous and very clever; no wonder he reached high rank in military. And of course he was one of the greatest fighter pilots of his time.

I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly.

When Adler wrote the Mr. Rall was issued the Legion of Merit award, I had to look up why. This is the information according to Wiki on the award....
The Legion of Merit is a military decoration of the United States armed forces that is awarded for exceptionally meritorious conduct in the performance of outstanding services and achievements. The decoration is issued both to United States military personnel and to military and political figures of foreign governments. The Legion of Merit is one of only two United States military decorations to be issued as a neck order (the other being the Medal of Honor) and the only United States decoration which may be issued in award degrees (much like an Order of chivalry or certain Orders of Merit).
The Legion of Merit is sixth in the order of precedence of U.S. military decorations, and is worn after the Defense Superior Service Medal and before the Distinguished Flying Cross.
