Gideon Lichtman passes
Interesting story from the Miami Herald obit. Caught me by surprise that the IAF was flying Messerschmitts. Can't imagine the irony of flying them wearing German uniforms. Unbelievable story.

Interesting sidebar, he was supposed to be on the ac with Buzz Beurling on the day he was killed in the Rome accident.

Czech-built Avia S-199s with Junkers Jumo 211, unsuited to the airframe it seems. They bought a bunch of used MK.IX Spitfires from the Czechs as well.
