Today, I met the grandson of Heinrich Gerlach.
Granddad flew paratroop transports for Germany during the war.
His dining out story, though, was that he piloted the Storch in which Mussolini was liberated by the Germans, from his prison.
He had to land, and lift off, from a mountain top without a runway.
I've seen one take off at Avalon Air Show, and can fully understand how that aeroplane was capable of the rescue.
That's it, end of brag.
but why was I offended
