I read a great book about Erich Hartmann. His Father, a Dr. was a medical missionary to China and his mother a blonde bombshell.

He was the all time ace of aces and deserves to be much more famous than he is. 352 confirmed kills and the Germans were the most unforgiving in crediting an air to air kill. They literally required proof before giving the pilot credit.

I was going to look up a color photograph of a Wildcat from WWII, but instead I got distracted to go looking for a photo of the Teutonic blonde bombshell. I think there is some rule that if you mention the aesthetic attributes of a female at FR, you are obligated to post the pic.
