Gunther Rall vs. Zemke's Wolfpack

[Erich]

Udet I really do not think that Günthers hand was forced in any way shape or form for the cover art. he probably thought it most fitting and if anything the scene really jogged his memory " hey I could of been toast".
The man even in today's aviation circles is a very important persona and he can easily pulls strings to get what he desires

I have not had the luck to meet any of the TOP Luftwaffe experten, i know Rall´s war career quite well though.

As you might have noticed, my objections are not against the quality of the painting; very good piece of artwork indeed. My arguments, well, you already read them here.

Ok, so if i were the veteran, and had to operate under the directives of the psychology of the defeated, at least it would have been my request that i´m painted destroying the P-47 i killed during such engagement.

Very nice set of photos by the way -you and all those veterans-.

I was on a business trip early in my career in the 70's and met my father and Jim Brooks at Paris Airshow where they, as American Fighter Aces Association, had scheduled a meeting with many of the German Aces to 'welcome' them into the 'international community.

It was there that I first met Rall and Galland plus Steinhoff . I did not get the chance to meet Hartmann as he had left the day before. All very impressive men.
