    The Greatest Fighter Pilots – Erich Hartmann “The Black Devil”








    https://youtu.be/3l9iKlCXwW0

    The Second World War’s highest scoring fighter pilot, credited with an astonishing number of 352 kills was a German pilot: Erich Hartmann.

    Although he flew on the Eastern Front, where conditions were so much different from the West, his achievement remains truly amazing. Hartmann’s record looks even more impressive if we compare it to the highest-scoring Allied pilots.

    Squadron Leader Marmaduke Thomas St John Pattle, a South African flying for the R.A.F. was the highest scoring Royal Air Force pilot, having 41 victories. U.S.A.A.F’s highest scoring air ace was Major Richard Ira Bong, flying in the Far East, also being credited with at least 40 Japanese aircraft shot down.

    Nuff said!









    Cheers
