I'm looking for information

Please excuse me for the vagueness of what I'm going to ask.

I was watching the Wings Channel some time ago and saw footage of a
German flying ace who, before Germany began it's military buildup to
World War II, demonstrated his flying skills. One stunt he did was to
fly low over a landing strip and somehow come to a stop in mid-air and
make a three-point landing. It was amazing to watch.

My questions a Who was the pilot, and how did he do it?

I'd appreciate any help!
