Jan. 2007 - Low Pass for the Home Folks - William Phillips

On a trip to Garmisch, Germany, Bill Phillips and his wife Kristi
discovered a war memorial on a hillside. Surrounding the
monument were framed photographs of local young men
who had been killed in World War II. Bill was particularly
moved by one photograph of a fresh-faced boy, his arms
around a cow: “This was no jack-booted Nazi. This was a
farm kid who loved his home and went off to fight
for it, just as American boys had done.”

The boy’s story began to develop in Bill’s imagination: the
young German had gone into the Luftwaffe and learned
to fly fighter jets. One day, early in the war, the boy and
a friend had buzzed the home valley in their BF-109s.
“I guess all pilots have done that, in every country,”
says Bill. “The pride of flight is universal.” Bill checked
with a German pilot, who said the practice was
strictly verboten — ". . . but of course we did it.”
