Horten 229 V2 Pilot Erwin Ziller's signed flight maps

 02/02/2020 is the 75th anniversary the first officially recorded flight of a jet-powered flying wing, the Horten 229 V2. So we think about not only the plane but the brave pilot, Erwin Ziller. This picture is of some of his flight maps where he wrote his name - from my personal collection that will someday hopefully end up displayed in a museum.
