Messerschmitt Bf-109 G-10, pilot Erich Hartmann, 1945, 1:72, Atlas
Erich Alfred Hartmann was a German fighter pilot during World War II and the most successful aviation ace in the history of air warfare. He flew in 1404 missions and participated in 825 different combats. He is credited with the demolition of 352 Allied aircraft (345 Soviet and 7 American). In the course of the war, he was forced to make fourteen forced landings with his fighter because of the damage suffered by the impact with fragments of enemy aircraft that he had knocked down or because of mechanical failures. It was never knocked down or forced to land due to enemy fire. Hartmann was a glider pilot before the war, joined the Luftwaffe in 1940 and completed training as a fighter pilot in 1942. He was assigned to Jagdgeschwader 52 (52nd Fighter Wing) on the Eastern Front and was fortunate enough to Serve under the supervision of some of the most experienced pilots of the German Air Force. Thanks to this, he quickly improved his tactics and number of victories, which made him worthy of the prestigious Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves, Swords and Diamonds, crediting 301 air victories. At the time of its concession to Hartmann, it was the highest German military decoration. Erich Hartmann scored his victory 352 and last at noon on May 8, 1945, hours before the end of the war. Along with the rest of the Jagdgeschwader 52, he surrendered to the United States Army and was then handed over to the Red Army. He was sentenced to 25 years of forced labor and spent 10 years in various prison camps and gulags in the Soviet Union until his liberation in 1955. In 1956, Hartmann joined the newly created Luftwaffe of the West German Bundeswehr and became the first commander of the Jagdgeschwader 71 «Richtofen». He prematurely left the Bundeswehr in 1970, largely because of his opposition to the adoption of the F-104 Starfighter fighter by the Luftwaffe and the subsequent clashes with his superiors over this issue. In his last years, after the end of his military career, he became a civil flight instructor. Erich Hartmann died on September 20, 1993 with 71 years. Source Wikipedia
