merge
editBecause Franz Stigler is notable for only one story and because the article Franz Stigler is not sourced very well I believe it should be merged into new article Charlie Brown and Franz Stigler story.--Mbz1 (talk) 17:30, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
Franz Stigler
editLudwig Franz Stigler war ein deutscher Offizier der Wehrmacht, zuletzt Oberleutnant der Luftwaffe und Jagdflieger im Zweiten Weltkrieg. Das Flieger-As errang 28 Luftsiege bei 487 Feindflügen. Er wurde selbst 17mal abgeschossen (etliche Abschüsse, Notwasserungen und Landungen mit dem Fallschirm sowie Verwundungen an Bein und Kopf) und wurde für das Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes eingereicht. 2003:DC:8BC5:5F42:808:8D13:3BFD:EA5F (talk) 03:45, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
His father was a WWII pilot?
editIn the first paragraph there is a sentence reading: "His father, also named Franz, was a World War II pilot/observer." Franz junior would have turned 30 in 1945, so his father is likely to have been in his fifties or even 60. I find it unlikely that Franz senior would have been a pilot in the Second World War. Maybe the sentence quoted above is meant to refer to WW I? Avaitors in WW I were commonly referred to as pilot/observer, which was not a common term in the Second World War. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xtal42 (talk • contribs) 10:44, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
