Piloting the Heinkel 111

From Willi's scrapbook: The Heinkel 111, an early German medium bomber with a top speed of 250 mph, was extensively used but became obsolete later in the war. Willi is in the cockpit in this June 8, 1943 photo. Bottom left: Willy, center, and his crew lunching outside of their huts on a warm day. Right: A visit to the mother of one of the crew, in Marienburg Sept. 1942. Willi is on far left.
