Made it to age 91.

Rall could always be counted on for some good stories and anectdotes during his many film appearances.

There are some good and humerous interviews of Rall ripping into various people and various fighters...of note, he hated the F-104 Starfighter. I had also wondered about his relationship to other aces like Hartmann, Barkhorn,..et all JG52, and commanders like Galland. He had used some interesting and colorful explanations to describe some of his flying peers. I had meant to purchase his book when it was released as he had hand signed each individually during the release.
