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.
