I am one kiss away from Adolf Hitler
Much respect for that - what a woman Reitsch was!

When a baby pilot I flew our then AOC (38 Gp) Denis Crowley-Milling, who was wingman to Bader on 242 in the B of B, so I used to tell my studes later on that they had "flown with a man who'd flown with a man who flew with Douglas Bader!"

A bit like the 1930s song "I danced with a man who danced with a girl who danced with the Prince of Wales".

But maybe in that case "danced" was a euphemism ........?
