Peter Spoden (born 8 November 1921) was a German night fighter ace during World War II. He was born in Borken. He was credited with 24 night victories and bearer of the German Cross in Gold. Spoden was member of night fighter units NJG 5 and NJG 6 and appointed to Gruppenkommandeur of I./NJG 6 at the end of war. In the 1950s, after the re-establishment of the German airline Lufthansa, he became Captain on the DC-3 and the famous Lockheed L-1049 Super Constellation, later on Boeing 720, Boeing 707 and Boeing 747. He trained hundreds of commercial pilots until his retirement in 1981.

Sent him 2 photos on 5 Mar and got them back signed on 20 Apr.
