From Horst Ademeit to Josef Zwernemann one each of those 105 German fighter pilots has achieved at least 100 aerial victories in WW 2. At the top stood Oberleutnant Erich Hartmann with his unequalled 352 victories – the ace of the aces – followed by Major Gerhard Barkhorn with 301 victories, Günther Rall with 275 victories, Otto Kittel with 267 victories, Walter Nowotny with 258 victoreis and Wilhelm Batz with 237 victories. Their military career, the story of their victories and defeats are told in this book, accompanied by 300 partly unknown photographs. 45 of them are in color, but mostly known and in mediocre quality.
