TWO HUNDRED UP - Original Pencil Drawing
by Richard Taylor
Well on his way to becoming one of the highest-scoring Aces in history, Oberleutnant Otto ‘Bruno’ Kittel, flying an Fw190 A-6 with 3./JG54, downs a Soviet Yak 9 on 26 August 1944 to notch up his 200th victory.
Awarded the Knight’s Cross with Oak Leaves – the Oak Leaves bestowed on him personally by Hitler on 5 May 1944 – Kittel spent his entire flying career with JG54 ‘Green Hearts’ on the Eastern Front.
To remember the most successful and highest-scoring fighter pilot killed in action during the war, Richard’s dramatic drawing has been framed to full conservation standards to include the rare autograph of the famous Ace depicted, along with highly-decorated pilots and Aces who flew Fw190s in combat during the war.
