Nice story!

[216th_Lucas_From_Hell]

Awesome gesture!

[Blooddawn1942]

Great story. And a sign of greatness that he didn't seemed to hate his former adversary and got married to a German woman.

All the best wishes to him and his family.

Although a couple of books have been published about Linzel they're written in Dutch.

Found some info in English though giving some more info about his time flying.
