The Real Life Maverick and WW2's Biggest Chad: Hans Joachim Marseille

His death was the kicker...taken down by his own side by mechanical issues and a freak bailout

Germany was loaded with fantastic pilots, the allies were lucky their leaders were bat crap crazy

When the best pilot perhaps in the world tells you he wants to keep his 109F. You should probably let him continue to fly the 109f....

It's just so insane to me how risky and aggressive of a pilot he was only to go out that way...I bet you this single death was a huge relief towards the allied advancement.

I found it interesting he mentions around 14:05 that the 109 is a favorite ride in Aces High.
Good video, 24:35 into it so far.

I too, was happy that he mentioned AH.

I presume you meant Walter Horten, not Walter Horton? Even music can be used as a weapon if made as well as Cacofonix does.   

Typo.     My dad met Walter at a sailplane meet in Switzerland, he got Reimar's address in Argentina and traveled there with the daughter of the test pilot that was killed flying the Ho-229. Then he got Reimar to write a book about his flying wings.
