Description: WWII German Luftwaffe Aces Signed (3) Signatures Book PlateHartmannGallandKrupinski Signatures Include:Walter KrupinskiAdolf GallandErich Hartmann Walter Krupinski (11 November 1920 – 7 October 2000) was a German Luftewaffe fighter ace in WWII and a senior West German Air Force officer during the Cold War. He was one of the highest-scoring pilots in the war, credited with 197 victories in 1,100 sorties. He was called by his fellow pilots Graf Punski (Count Punski) due to his Prussian origins. Krupinski was one of the first to fly the Messerschmitt Me 262 jet fighter in combat as a member of Jagdverband 44 (JV 44—44th Fighter Detachment) led by Adolf Galland. Adolf Josef Ferdinand Galland (19 March 1912 – 9 February 1996) was a German Luftwaffe general and flying ace who served throughout WWII in Europe. He flew 705 combat missions, and fought on the Western Front and in the Defense of the Reich. On four occasions, he survived being shot down, and he was credited with 104 aerial victories, all of them against the Western Allies. Erich Alfred Hartmann (19 April 1922 – 20 September 1993) was a German fighter pilot during WWII and the most successful fighter ace in the history of aerial warfare. He flew 1,404 combat missions and participated in aerial combat on 825 separate occasions. He was credited with shooting down a total of 352 Allied aircraft: 345 Soviet and 7 American while serving with the Luftwaffe. During his career, Hartmann was forced to crash-land his fighter 16 times after either mechanical failure or damage received from parts of enemy aircraft he had shot down; he was never shot down by direct enemy action. Hartmann received the Knight’s Cross with Oak Leaves, Swords and Diamonds. From what I understand, these Aces gathered in the 1980s-1990s for photo and book plate signings.
