    Default Ernst Udet In Flight (Video)

    I was trawling through some information on Ernst Udet today when I stumbled across this piece of footage from the 1929 silent movie, Die weiße Hölle vom Piz Palü.

    Ernst Udet did some stunt flying between the wars and, it seems, often played himself and rescued someone in movies!

    The first 4 seconds are particularly interesting because we actually see Udet himself mid-flight.



    The full film can be watched on YouTube in portions, but I figured I'd post this as a teaser.

    This is the other good video of Udet that I found, where he performs an impressive landing on a very narrow road. This is from an airshow in Chicago, although I'm not sure in which year.

    Hi Michael - if you find better ones, please do post them - these are the only two I've seen.

    Thumbs up

    Yes Udet starred as a Pilot in 3 German Movies around that time doing some great flying & I believe they are available from Amazon but suspect there are no Sub Titles

    Cool videos. That landing was done with the engine off! Amazing! I think I'll keep my Udet mini's!
