Country:  | Heinz Bar...
Anyone who can fly the entire War, on all fronts, while racking up over 200 kills against the British, French, Russian and American, deserves my vote...

Country: | along with flying the Bf 109, Fw 190, Me 262 and trained to fly bombers and the Ju 52 in 1937 and as commander of a jet fighter school at Lechfield in January 1945, he flew the He 162 apparently.
Bar gets my vote!

Country: | Changed my vote from the first poll (Hartmann) to Hans-Joachim Marseille this time. Tough choice since "Bubi" is my personal favorite.
158 kills, all in the West in 382 missions.
Bar ain't too bad either.

| Can't deside between Marseilles and Hartmann....
__________________  We have built a total of about 1250 of this aircraft (Me-262), but only fifty were allowed to be used as fighters - as interceptors. And out of this fifty, there were never more than 25 operational. So we had only a very, very few.

Country: | If u cant decide, go with the obvious choice Soren, Bar.... He did after all have the most jet kills in WW2...
How many would Hartmann have had if he accepted the transfer???

Country: | Wow! The list is a lot smaller.
I'm not sure who to vote for either. I'll think about it, and thanks Adler.

Country: | Not sure who to vote for?
Then vote for Pappy Boyington! A vote for Pappy means a vote for Free Beer!

Country:  | Voted Marseille again, to go against the standard opinion and leave the elections open  Furthermore I believe he was a s good as Bar, but unlike the latter unfortunately died in an accident for which he wasn't to blame.

Country:  | Well, I continue to give my vote to Heinz Bar, as stated previously.....
"Participated in the air war from start to finish, flew on all fronts, flew all the primary fighters, fought against all types of enemy in all kinds of conditions and continued to rack up kills anywhere,any time, 220 is not a bad effort, I think!"
The pilots who continued scoring after changing between multiple theatres and lived to tell the tale are few and far between.......

Country: | Hello everybody,
greetings from a new forum member.
According to the forwarded list I would go along with Heinz Baer, however it struck my mind, that there was a Luftwaffe Pilot who downed 40 or more four-engined bombers. Would anyone of you remember his name? If so I would like to forward that pilot as the No.1
Besides the vote list the best Pilot could be my uncle (old time family friend -not really related) he flew as fighter pilot from 1939 till the very end of 45. Among the planes he flew was also the Ta-152, and the best part is; he never got shot down nor did he shot down anybody - (according to his say)
Regards
