Default FAI ratifies records of illegal flights.

Hi Frank
Marcel and Berta always claimed to be swiss, he was actually born in that border country. And he did fly gliders in the olympics, but a lesser known item is he also flew aerobatics for the germans in one of the intrernational contests right before the war. I asked them one time about whether he flew in the war. He got real quiet and just smiled. I think he did. All I know was he was a madterful glider driver and taught this kid alot.
