Hans Rudel had fun too IN the Ju-87:

I ready his book:- a good read. The determination of the man has to be
admired. When he gets his legs amputated and goes of and flies

missions
with the stumps still bleeding I thought it was a bit much.


How did he coordinate his turns?


He had temporary artificial tin legs. I don't think he could even walk in
them. As I recall he took of within 2 weeks of the amuputation and flew at
least 15 missions and shot up quite a few tanks. (I think his total was
about 500 tanks). He was a one man heavy bomber squadran.
