Heinz Bartels
Heinz Bartels (1918 – 1944) was an Austrian-born German fighter pilot of WWII who served on the Western and Eastern fronts and in North Africa, the Mediterranean and the Balkans. He was killed on December 23, 1944, during the Battle of the Bulge.
At his death, he was credited with 99 confirmed aerial victories, with the rank of Oberfeldwebel and awarded the Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross and German Cross.
Messerschmitt Bf 109
The Messerschmitt Bf 109 is a German single-seat, single-engine fighter, one of the most advanced fighters when introduced. It first flew on May 29, 1935, and first saw combat with the “Condor Legion” during the Spanish Civil War. The Bf 109 achieved more aerial victories than any other type of World War II. The Luftwaffe withdrew its last Bf 109s from service in May 1945; it remained with the Spanish Air Force until December 1965. Several allies operated the Bf 109 during the war and postwar, manufactured in Czechoslovakia, Spain and Switzerland.
Advanced features for the time were an all-metal airframe, an enclosed cockpit and retractable landing gear. The Junkers Jumo 210 powered most pre-war variants, later the Daimler-Benz DB 601 and DB 605. All were liquid-cooled inverted V12 engines.
The armament consisted of two machine guns mounted in the engine cowling atop the engine and a single cannon firing through a blast tube between the engine cylinder banks, known as a Motorkanone. The first with wing-mounted guns was the C-1, with one in each wing. Later variants could carry two field-installed under-wing cannon pods and ordinance racks.
