Mid to Late-War 109's: Ace of ace's

Author Emel
Description Hartmanns 109's

Everybody knows the name of Erich Hartmann and his career as the worlds most successful fighter pilot in the German Luftwaffe during World War II. So, I will not re-tell the story once again. But I will tell another short story, a familiar one to most of us aviation nuts, but it's the one incident that always intrigued me most about Hartmann. "The black devil of the South". The legend of the Black devil started when the famous tulip flower decoration was applied on Hartmann's 109. With this new decoration it became easy for the Russians to identify whenever Hartmann's 109 joined in combat. The design became so notoriously famous among the Soviet Air Forces that as soon as it was seen in the skies over Southern Russia and identified as the 'Black devil of the South', the Soviet pilots would usually just let it be and flee from the scene instead of engaging it, as it was said the 'Black devil' never missed.

Obviously this reason severely diminished Hartmann's chances for further victories and he later gave up the tulipped 109's for standard camouflaged 109's in order to appear less conspicuous in the air. This procedure reversed the situation and his score began to mount once more in the familiar alarming rate that eventually with 352 confirmed victories earned him the place in the annals of aviation history as the Ace of all aces.

The way this black tulipped 109 from time and again kept diminishing the strength of the VVS front line units in an alarming rate led to a situation where Russians offered a reward of 10,000 rubles to the one who managed to shoot down the black devil. The one Soviet pilot succeeding to shoot down Hartmann would become famous, rich and respected. None of these features however, could provide the desired results as any soviet pilot regcognising Hartmann would not dare to challenge him.

This pack includes 18 skins. 6 fully marked, 6 swastika only, and 6 blank skins. Several 109 variants are included in this pack so, please pay attention when installing the skins so that all skins are placed to the correct folders.
