    The Blond Knight of Germany: A biography of Erich Hartmann

    This is a book that deals with major aspects of Bubi Hartmann's life with several epitomizing examples. Eg. Air combat, we get his first sortie (lost his plane), shooting down a Il-2 for his first kill,escape from behind enemy lines, fighting and destroying 7 Mustangs at Ploesti as well as taking on 8 Mustangs by himself.
    He awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves, Swords and Diamonds

    Erich Hartmann is still by far the most successful fighter pilot in the history of the air war: 352 confirmed air victories achieved within 30 months (from 2 november 1942 until 8th of may 1945)

    One of the very first books that made an impression on me 30+ years ago.
    Thanks,
