Page "Adolf Galland" Paragraph 8
from
Wikipedia
During the final years of the Weimar Republic, jobs were scarce and life was hard for the Galland family economically.
Adolf had some experience of flying gliders so he applied to the Deutsche Verkehrsfliegerschule or DVS ( German Commercial Flying School ) which was heavily subsidised by Luft Hansa.
These incidents affected him so badly he was convinced he would soon be sent home, and he applied to join the German Army.
Flights in an Albatros L 75 and the award of a B1 certificate allowing him to fly large aircraft over in weight helped him regain his confidence.
Around the same time, the Army accepted his application, but owing to his successful training and improved flying, the flying school refused to release him.
