Klaus Hill
Mid 1900s hang gliding history has in it a sparkling contributor: Klaus Hill.
All manner of historical note on him would be welcome to this thread.
To start, the memory tease came from Don Liddard's giving a robust link:

But there is more to Klaus Hill's story. Hope others will find and post. There was a tight relationship with Richard Miller, Larry Hall, and others.
Klaus Hill was part of the early 1960s fraternity receiving and participating in Low, Slow, and Out of Control that was part of the basis for Low & Slow roots; the early fraternity was already recognizing Horton Brothers for hang gliding visions.
