I suppose the question really is moot but I wonder how he would have done during WW2.

No... She was a GREAT film maker!

... And we know how he would have done during the war. The man was a phenomena, a natural... the quintessential fighter pilot!

I actually found a couple of films of Ernie doing stunts in the 1930s in Long Island. Can't remember where I GOT them, but I have them on my fileserver, the links which I will gladly share.

He looked much happier then, so much happier.

Again I don't remember where I got the files, but the last one should at least be of SOME interest. Heh heh heh.

I had trouble with your links. Could you check them for us?

At Forty-Something?
He'd have been a lit candle for some 20-something....
Sad, but es verdad.
May pertain his last choice in Shootin' Arns...

Links are gone - removed from the site for space on my web-storage.

Go to Altavista.com, Video Search, type in Manfred von Richthofen and Ernst Udet.

Trust me.

Thanks Baroness for the info. Great footage of Udet doing what he does best.

Darren
