Man, can't believe I spaced this. I totally forgot to post about this. There was actually a little blurb in the LA Times about his death. Wow, did I space big time!?

a true fighter ace and from what i gather a true leader and gentleman.

REST IN PEACE.

This guy has some great interviews on You Tube, and gives some REAL insight into the comparisons between the 109 and the 190. I've also seen him on the Military Channel a few times recently also. A real warrior this guy was.

My favorite pilot will always be Erich, but me, as well as anyone should have a great respect for this guy.

Maybe him being injured is actually a blessing, his name would not be added to the long list of great German pilots who were KIA.

He is a truely magnificant story and a class act.
