Never again will any Pilot achieve 300 aircraft kills. Erich Hartmann, with 352 official kills the highest scoring fighter pilot of all time. In World War II many air forces adopted the British practice of crediting fractional shares of aerial victories,Although the true qualities of a fighter pilot cannot be measured simply by tallying his number of air victories - some of the greatest fighter leaders do not feature in the top score sheets -there can be no question that any fighter pilot whose victory tally is counted in 100s has got to be exceptional. That two of them achieved more than 300 air-to-air victories is pure phenomena. In paying tribute to Erich Hartmann and Gerhard Barkhorn, the only two fighter pilots ever to top the 300 victory mark. Three Hundred Club by Nicolas Trudgian is signed by three of JG52's most outstanding fighter Aces: Generalleutnant GÜNTHER RALL Oberleutnant KURT SCHADE Oberleutnant WALTER WOLFRUM. On the Eastern Front in November 1944, Luftwaffe fighters from JG-52 have been called in. The Me109's of Erich Hartman and Gerhard Barkhorn are seen engaging the attacking aircraft. Although the true qualities of a fighter pilot cannot be measured simply by tallying his number of air victories - some of the greatest fighter leaders do not feature in the top score sheets - there can be no question that any fighter pilot whose victory tally is counted in 100's has got to be exceptional. That two of them achieved more than 300 air-to-air victories is pure phenomena. In paying tribute to Erich Hartmann and Gerhard Barkhorn, the only two fighter pilots ever to top the 300 victory mark, Nicolas Trudgian has painted a gripping combat scene being played out in the typically harsh environment where these two remarkable fighter aces achieved immortality. Both "300 Club" members flew the majority of their combat missions with JG-52, the most successful fighter wing of WWII, where, on the Eastern Front they encountered and conquered every type of fighter including British built Spitfires and Hurricanes, the American Airacobra, and all the best Russian built fighters, including the Yak-9.
