Hermann Graf was a German Ace in WWII with 212 victories. Graf also was the first person ever to score 200 kills. Graf recorded his first victory on August 4, 1941 during "Operation Barbarossa". He flew 830 missions and 202 of his 212 victories were scored on the Eastern Front. Six of his 10 victories accumulated on the Western Front were against four-engine bombers. Graf spent the summer of 1943 as commander of the Erganzungjagdgruppen (operational training unit) in France where he flew his colorful Fw-190A-4 W Nr 634.
Designed by Kurt Tank, the Fw-190A was first flown on June 1st, 1939. This small, yet ferociously-powered aircraft was fast and maneuverable and packed a fierce armament package earning it the nickname "Butcher Bird". The wide landing gear, excellent visibility and high-altitude paddle-bladed propeller endeared it to pilots familiar with the shortcomings of its predecessor - the Messerschmitt Bf 109. Some of the Luftwaffe's most famous fighter aces flew the Fw 190. Many variants were produced during the war, with the most notable being the inline-engine equipped and longer-nosed 190D, known as the "Dora." © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
