As the Fatherland's
best test pilot she was much braver than the guys and one of the last
century's greatest test pilots- female or otherwise

Rob

Not taking away from her accomplishments, but who says she was one of the
"greatest test pilots?" The fact that she was an ardent Nazi until the day she
died? The fact she was the first to successfully pilot a V-1 after 2 others
died?

Name one airplane besides the manned version of the V-1where she was part of
the test programs.


The Gigant?
