109 ace Werner Machold: Battle of Britain ace, Ritterkreuz awardee. He was the 8th pilot to reach 20 kills in the BOB, where he scored heavily.
However, all good things come to an end. Machold force-landed near Swanage, Dorset after receiving damage from anti-aircraft fire from a Royal Navy destroyer during a low-level Jabo attack on a shipping convoy out of Portland. He became a prisoner-of-war for the remainder of hostilities and finished with 32 kills. Full-sized art. The original aircraft no longer exists. |
