Erich Hartmann
Hello all,
I am looking for photos of the greatest ace of all time, Erich Hartmann. I haven't been able to find many. I am looking for photos from any time period, and i'm really looking for some photos post-war of him, either when he was in russian captivity, or when he was serving in the West-German Post-War Air Force.
Thanks many,
Dan

Hi! I don't know if a copy can still be found, but the book German Fighter Ace Erich Hartmann: The Life Story of the World's Highest Scoring Ace with commentary by Ursula Hartmann (Schiffer Publishing, Ltd., 1992) is packed with tons of photos from all periods of Hartmann's life. I bought one of the numbered copies of the 500 books signed by Erich Hartmann when it was first published by Schiffer. It was pretty expensive then, so I imagine a used copy, even an unsigned one, carries a pretty hefty price tag. However, it is simply THE book for photos of Germany's greatest ace! The book tells his life story via well-captioned photographs drawn from the Hartmann family photo albums and many other sources.

Erich Hartmann
A revived old post--great. I have a signed Hartmann print, I'll brag. Well, the guy was something else! Strange to say but I get a little tear in my eye when I think about his passing (even though he was my country's enemy). Quite a character/pilot/person.
