" A Nearsighted Professor "

Hi,
Lothar von Richthofen related the story of " a nearsighted professor ", who during a practice bombing run, mistakenly attacked a herd of cattle. Seven of the cows were killed, and LvR remarked that " We had beef to eat for a week." Was the identity of this gentleman ever established?? Thanks.
