I had the great pleasure of photographing General Gunther Rall in November 2007 at his home in Bavaria. He told me in no uncertain terms I had one hour to photograph him and then I must leave. Four hours later we were drinking Scotch.
The preceding part of this conversation is at • My Chat with General G...
I made this and a second recording just to remind myself of what the great man said. I apologise for the video quality. The associated photos are a better tribute to one of the greatest fighter pilots of all time. I hope you enjoy the video all the same.
If you would like a particular print or drawing of General Rall, please message from here or via my website.
Kindest regards

I can’t believe you passed up a session with this living legend. This interview would have been very different if you had stayed for a few whiskies. He was desperate to get drunk and shoot the breeze. You big fool, I would have left the car and walked through a blizzard the next morning.

This beauty brings new meaning to the four finger pour.

Oh man, to be able to sit and drink with one of these guys !

@JohnMartinBradleyArt 3 года назад

It certainly was a joy and a great honour. Especially given that when I arrived he made it clear I only had one with him. Four hours later we were drinking Scotch.

only one he said... but that was a huge load of scotch!... by the way, i just received his book with his own hand signature... ! got it on ebay for 100 Euros ! (in german, which i speak... the english version sells for 500 Pounds!)

@JohnMartinBradleyArt 3 года назад

Haha, yes. Purely for medicianl purposes on the advice of his doctor, he told me. BTW, I have seen signed copies of his book on sale for €1,000. I'm never selling mine!

I think he normally drank aviation fuel ;-)

Haha. Fine old gentlemen like him contented themselves with the best Scotland has to offer.

do you have more of these? where can i find other pilots like these

@JohnMartinBradleyStuff 7 лет назад

Hi Omkar. I have interviewed and photographed 40 World War II veterans in ten countries. And several veterans of the Cold War who fought in Korea, Vietnam and the African bush wars. In time I will post more of the interviews to RU-vid. Unfortunately, I need to do other things to make a living. Plus I raise two children on my own and try to make ends meet. However, I really enjoy this project and in time it will be a significant piece of work - I hope.

@omkarshinde6359 7 лет назад

okay thanks. loved this one and will wait for others. It looks so informal and authentic and not like the interviews done in documentaries.👍

What happened to the rest of the footage?

@JohnMartinBradleyArt 6 лет назад

I went to see him for a photo shoot. The video was done at the end of the afternoon as I sat with him for a Scotch before I had to leave for the airport. Sadly this is it! Although I have hours of other pilots which I will post in due course.
