Nice shots!
The pilot could very well be Heinz Rühmann, a famous German actor of the 1930s and 40s. Looks very much like him and Rühman was known to be a an avid aviator.

Arado Ar79 A V-2 2 D-EHCR
PILOT (GERMANY)
BORN 1908 - DIED 10 Feb 1939, Madras
CAUSE OF DEATH plane crash
GRAVE LOCATION Schliersee, Bayern: Friedhof an der Sixtuskirche, Seestrasse
Horst Pulkowski was a lieutenant colonel with the German Luftwaffe. On 17 December 1938 he departed with a Arado AR 79V3 V2 sport plane from Berlin to make a journey to Sydney together with lieutenant Rudolf Jenett. From 29 December to 31 December 1939 they flew non stop from Benghazi in Libya to Gaya in the British-Indies. This amounted to 6,400 kilometers and was a world record for this type of plane. On 15 January 1939 they arrived in Darwin.
During the way back they made a demonstration flight near Madras in India where they collided with a huge bird of prey and crashed. Jenett survived, but Pulkowski and their Indian passenger died. Afterwards he and Jenett received the Adolf Hitler Prize for powered flight for 1938.
