*** INTERESTING DOCUMENT OF THE MEETING OF TWO WORLD FAMOUS RECORD-AVIATORS. Armstrong arrived in Frankfurt the same day, met Reitsch and then toured through Germany with her. As she reveals in her memoirs it was not their first meeting: that night in the Ratskeller, when sitting together with Armstrong's assistant Dr. Kuettner und Helmut Dette of VFW he told her that they had been already been introduced to each other in 1961 during her visit of the Birk Flight Test Center at 'Edwards' Air Force Base in California, but as she was surrounded by many young test pilots he rather kept in the background listening to her reports. - A NICE ASSOCIATION. )
