The Ace of Aces

Yeah Firebird!
If you ever want rid of that, I’d be happy to put it on my wall! 🙂

:rolleyes:

A funny thing to be immortalised in a painting called ‘ace of aces’ when shooting down scores of allied aircraft in the name of the nazi state (whether he agreed with it personally or not).

I’m not necessarily condemning him as that’s a step too far without a much greater knowledge and understanding of this particular story than I have but there is something that makes me uneasy in seeing romantic sunset paintings like this when we know that they were supporting a state so repugnant and dangerous as that of Nazi Germany.

Not something I would have on my wall!

I have this Robert Taylor print Ace of Aces, signed by Hartmann, hanging on the wall.

I’ve been able to borrow his autobiography from our library, an interesting read!
