The greatest fighter pilot to have ever flown? Erich Hartmann was truly the Ace of Ace's, a score of 352 victories a feat that will never be repeated. Dubbed by the Russians 'The Black Devil', Hartmann was a quiet unassuming young man, yet in only two & a half years Hartmann accumulated 352 victories, rose to command Gruppe no 1 of JG 52(the Luftwaffe's most successful fighter wing) and earned Germany's most coveted military award the Knights Cross of The Iron Cross With Oak Leaves, Swords And Diamonds.
