Adolf Galland war time signed postcard

Hello, first post in this category, hope you like it

My favorite fighter pilot, and a very, very nice man to spend time with and talk to while he lived.
He always took a dashing photo and (IMO) was the peak combination of pilot, leader, and a mind for aeronautical advances.
I like the below 2, though postwar and therefore not as valuable as a wartime signed image.

Hello, my postcard was part of the collection of a HJ boy. and I agree with you, Galland has always impressed me. I see an autographed photo, did you meet him personally?

Hi Borodinenko, while I don't dispute your claim that your photo comes from a HJ collection, can I ask you how you know for sure this is so?

This is a standard line trotted out by some dealers (one who I know has this claim added to his written descriptions of 'wartime' signed photos), when they are not IMO from HJ collections and have dodgy sigs... such statements from dealers have about as much value as their CoAs...

Met him several times, the first accidentally alone with him and Bob Stanford Tuck (RAF ace) in NY, we had coffee and cookies. They were postwar friends and hunting partners, a wonderful conversation with none of it being about WW II !!

Hello,I can not be absolutely sure (who can be?), but I trust the salesman who never let me down before. but even if it is after war I am pleased to have the signature of Adolf Galland

i would have given my entire collection to meet with these aces (a childhood dream). but I think I would have bothered all asking them to tell me about their air combat
