A LIMITED EDITION PRINT PAYING TRIBUTE TO ERICH HARTMANNTHE BLOND KNIGHTBy Robert Taylor Erich Hartmann climbs out of his Bf109 G-6 at Weszperem’s snow-covered airfield after returning from another arduous mission leading Stab I./JG53 with whom, on 4 February he downed a Yak-9. It was his 337th victory.It is a record likely to stand for all time, and this outstanding print pays tribute to the Ace of Aces – Erich Hartmann.Posted to JG52 over Russia in August 1942 his new Kommodore, Dieter Hrabak, placed the novice pilot under the guidance of “Paule” Rossman, one of the unit’s most experienced and respected Aces. However during his very first combat Hartmann became so disorientated that he got lost in cloud and ran out of fuel. His undoubted skill as a pilot enabled him to survive the inevitable crash-landing, but a few days later and just minutes after scoring his first-ever victory, he was shot down – again crash-landing. This time he only just escaped from his burning aircraft before it exploded.Any other new pilot might have succumbed but Hartmann was made of sterner stuff and, with Rossman’s help and guidance, it wasn’t long before everyone in JG52 realized that he possessed exceptional skill.By the summer of 1943 ‘the Blond Knight’ and his colleagues were flying up to six missions a day and having now perfected his technique, it was unusual for him to finish a day without a victory. Never claiming to be an expert marksman, his approach, which took nerves of steel and great flying skills, was to get as close to his enemy as possible before opening fire at the last minute. Often flying ‘head on’, the risks of collision and damage were great – of the sixteen times Hartmann was brought down, eight were as a result of flying into the debris of his victim!Hartmann’s 352 victories were achieved with JG52 – all except one. It happened during a brief two week spell at the beginning of February 1945 when the top Ace was placed in temporary command of I./JG53. His new unit were based in Hungary where German Army Group South was in bitter retreat and the fighting was as tough and relentless as ever.THE SIGNATURES The print is signed by the artist Robert Taylor and two iconic Luftwaffe pilots who ﬂew on the Russian Front during World War II:Unteroffizier HUBERT-LUDWIG PFLAUM Iron Cross Hauptmann KARL-FRITZ SCHLOSSSTEIN German Cross in GoldThis outstanding piece is the perfect opportunity for collectors to invest in a true piece of aviation history and makes a great pair with the print Hunters at DawnPrint size: 32 x 24 inchesPlease note: The prints in my store are hand-signed by the veterans involved in the painting so the signatures are original autographs and not reproductions.
