This might be a good place to post about one of my aviation heroes.
Dr. Hugo Eckenar. He might just be my all time favorite. I read about him a long time ago. Commodore Rosendahl, another hero of mine, went to Dr. Eckenar's home after the war and brought the Dr. a box of cigars. It might not be fame deserved but recognition by his peers says more.
Legend has it as a reporter, he went to Lake Constance to report on the Graf's aerial folly and came away a disciple.
 
Agreed. Also a couple of nice aerial shots of Stuttgart and Munich circa 1929. I dunno though, the second one over Munich looks a bit doctored, the Graf seems to be in a right bank and appears a bit 'unreal' to me.

Thoughts?
