Known as “the Blond Knight Of Germany,” Erich Hartmann was the World War II Luftwaffe pilot now recognized as the most successful fighter ace in the history of aerial combat. A master of stalk-and-ambush tactics, Hartmann scored 352 victories in 1,404 combat missions and was never shot down or forced to land due to enemy fire. During the war, Russians nicknamed him “Black Devil” due to the black tulip design he had added to his plane. Why was his plane sometimes lent to novice pilots? Discuss
