Sorry Emily and I missed you at GAP. I hope I won’t get any Flak over it…ha ha!
You look good defending the Fatherland. Who was the Luftwaffe Ace? Did he fly 109’s or FW’s?

Flak. Groan!:)

The Luftwaffe pilot is Gottfried Dulias. He got five Soviet planes before his Bf109 was shot down and he was captured. He was released from the Gulag in 1948.

He was selling his book, “Another Bowl of Kapusta” at the GAP. I bought it from him a couple of years ago. Nice, interesting fellow.

Hi Kamerad Jakob,

Lt. Dulias sent us (Linda and I) an early valentine. I will try to forward it to you.

The pictures from the FIG look nice. Linda is a good photographer isn’t she?

I will send you some of her to show off those 40s style clothes, for those female kameraden to enjoy.

Gruss Gott,

Bill
