Josef Wurmheller - one of my fighter buddies looks incredibly similar to this Ace, who was "credited with 102 enemy aircraft shot down in over 300 combat missions. He claimed the majority of his aerial victories over the Western Front, and nine over the Eastern Front. Of his 93 victories over the Western allies, at least 18–20 were 4 engined bombers and 56 were against Spitfires." Wikipedia.
One of the more attractive artworks on the 190, Wurmheller was clearly the scourge of british fighter aviation. He and his wingman were killed in a mid-air collision during combat near Alençon, France on 22 June 1944. Wurmheller was posthumously promoted to Major and was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords on 24 October 1944.
