Description
Erich "Bubi" Hartmann also nicknamed "The Blond Knight Of Germany" by friends and "The Black Devil" by his enemies, is the most successful fighter ace in the history of aerial combat.
He is credited with 352 enemy aircraft shot down (of which 345 were flown by the Soviet Air Force, and 260 of which were fighters) in 825 combat sorties while serving with the Luftwaffe, Germany's air force, in World War II.
For those that need to be told, the swastika is there for historical accuracy not a political statement.
Thanks for taking the time to look!

Great job! You have done your homework, mate! It's all there, the insignia of JG 52, Hartmann's black tulip pattern and of course the bleeding heart of "Karalja" ;) That leaves only one question: Is that now Bubi sitting in the cockpit or is that his rooky wingman straight from flight school who got the "life insurance" of Bubi's plane - which most soviet pilots would avoid by now at all cost.

The cloud cover gives this a sense of mystery and stealth. I like it! Lea
