Erich Hartmann the World’s Greatest Flying Ace

Despite his cavalier attitude and lack of discipline, Hartmann’s training officers realized that he was an immensely talented pilot, and tolerated his behaviour. He flew more than 1,400 missions enabling him to score an astonishing 352 victories. Hartmann’s reputation had grown so immense that when many Soviet pilots saw the notorious Mes-serschmitt Bf 109 approaching they would turn tail and head home. This flying menace had to be stopped, but no one ever did. Erich Hartmann’s record will never be broken.
