Gerhard Barkhorn
Gerhard Barkhorn (1919 – 1983) was a World War II German ace who served on the western and eastern fronts. Post-war, he served with the Bundeswehr until 1975, retiring as Generalmajor. Credited with 301 victories, he is the second-highest-scoring Ace in history. Awards included the Knights Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords.
Messerschmitt Bf 109
The Messerschmitt Bf 109 is a German single-seat, single-engine fighter, one of the most advanced fighters when introduced and achieved more aerial victories than any other type of World War II.
It first flew on May 29, 1935, and saw combat for the first time with the “Condor Legion” during the Spanish Civil War. The Luftwaffe withdrew its last Bf 109s from service in May 1945; it remained with the Spanish Air Force until 1965, built in Czechoslovakia, Spain and Switzerland postwar.
The Junkers Jumo 210 powered most pre-war variants, later the Daimler-Benz DB 601 and DB 605. ll 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: two field-installed under-wing cannon pods and ordinance racks.
