Erich Hartmann!

 

Over an incredible three-year period on the Eastern Front, Erich Hartmann shot down 352 enemy aircraft to become the highest-scoring Ace in history. It is a record that will stand for all time.

To complete this beautiful "Three Hundred Club Portfolio," Robert Taylor pays tribute to the Ace of Aces. As a follow up to the first release in this pair - "Hunters at Dawn" - Taylor shows Hartmann climbing out of his Bf 109 G-6 at Weszperem’s snow-covered airfield after returning from another arduous mission where, on February 4th, he downed a Yak-9.

It was his 337th victory. He achieved this during a brief two-week spell in command of the unit and away from his beloved JG52.
