Indeed it is a great story, but one that all happened in someones mind. I call bullshit on this one too....

I think there should be laws against people writing and framing this kind of stuff. Kris
......or one third of all Bf 109s crashing on take off and landing

I actually heard that on the History channel.I meant it as making it appear as something which it isn't. In this case making it seem it is a true WW2 story. There have been so many myths written in important books already so we don't need people coming up with new bogus stories. Before you know it you will have another Ju 390 flying to New York City or one third of all Bf 109s crashing on take off and landing

I have sat in a Bf109 as well, and can imagine two people sitting in there, but not while the aircraft were in flight. If Hartmann were able to not only fly his aircraft with someone in the cockpit but safely get it back down again, hats off to him.If you read books about Erich Hartmann.. He mentions several times that he and his crewchief flew to safety in the cockpit. Also that at least once put multiple persons in the fuselage as well as another body in the cockpit and flew with the canopy off. Id say this story is very believable. I have sat in the cockpit of a ME-109G and can see how you could get 2 people in it.. It would be uncomfortable but you could get 2 in there without a canopy.
