"Meanwhile, the Germans were using the autogyro (grandfather of the modern day helicopter) to airlift downed Luftwaffe pilots back to friendly lines." Do we have a reference for this? DJ Clayworth 17:58, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Iam from Germany, and that is the first time i hear from Autogyros that pickup downed Luftwaffen pilots. I think that is more a legend or fantasy, but no fact or history.
