Say what? And who said it first?

[SmokinLoon]

I will say it first:

keep the politics and the political BS out of this thread!  SirFrancis is kind enough to share, you be kind enough to shut your pie hole and take it for it what it is.

There. 

[Scherf]

Who is the Ritterkreuztraeger in the black & white series?

I think you're referring to Gunther Lutzow, who served as Geschwaderkommodore of JG3 from August 1940 to August 1942.

Thanks for sharing your grandfather's photos, SirFrancis!

yep, thats Lützow. But there some other wellknown pilots to be seen in the pictures:

Here you see Gollob (in the middle) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_Gollob)
Galland (to the left) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Galland) and Lützow to the right (link was posted before)



Here you see Generalfeldmarschall Bock (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fedor_von_Bock)



Here on the right side is Dahl (leftLützow, middel Gollob) (link Dahl -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walther_Dahl)



Next one is Oesau (middle). To the right Lützow and to the left General Ritter von. Greim.  (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Oesau)

ps. regarding last picture. The man on the left is Robert Ritter von Greim. I didn´t knew whos is was. But after posting this pictures I found  some info about him. Seems he have been the last head of the Luftwaffe appointed by Adolf to replace Hermann Göring. I didn´t kew my grandfather met such "importand" people....

[Scherf]

Yow!

I wondered if it was Galland in that shot, thought "naaaaaa".

I honestly dont see the point in modeling this plane. I predict after the first month is will be Queen of the hangar Queens.

Much rather of scene Iron Annie instead of a "spotting plane". Who is really going to bother spotting in Aces High? And arent there better options then an airplane with poorer then WW1 performance?

[Zeagle]

I think you will be mistaken Rich
