As far as I know, Kurt Tank is alone in that regard
Captain Eric ‘Winkle’ Brown, who interrogated Germany’s top aircraft designers and test pilots said in a recent interview that, of all the designers, it was Kurt Tank who impressed him most: "Not only was he Focke Wulf’s chief designer, he was their assistant chief test pilot.
