Life
Little is known about the life of Oskar Notz, but as first lieutenant of the 2nd Battalion of the 20th Bavarian Infantry Regiment Ingolstadt he was involved in several test flights of newly constructed aircraft for the increasingly covertly armed Reichswehr .
In 1930 he won third place overall in a European tour with a Klemm L 25E .
On April 29, 1932, Notz fell fatally on a test flight for the European sightseeing flight in 1932 in a Heinkel He 64 from a height of 30 meters.
His grave, on the gravestone of which a bronze eagle and the words "Flyers give me the sun ..." were affixed, has meanwhile been abandoned in the Freising cemetery.
