Adolf Galland was a German fighter ace general of Fighter Command in France. He flew 705 combat missions, and fought on the Western Front and in the Defence of the Reich. On four occasions, he survived being shot down, and he was credited with 104 aerial victories, all of them against the Western Allies.

I personally feel Galland is truly the top ace of the war for two reasons. First, although his score wasn't as high as the others, he earned every kill against the Western Allies. They were considerably better pilots with much better aircraft. And the second reason is from getting an idea of what sort of man he is from the interviews done on him after the war. Not to mention he was planning, organizing, and then leading those combat missions. He took the best care he could of his men, and fought tooth and nail (within reason considering) to get his squadron the best equipment, aircraft, and supplies possible.

I thought it interesting when he discussed the issue with the Me 262. He argued heavy for making it a dedicated Interceptor instead of the foolish ideas Hitler insisted upon it being a bomber. Because that makes sense, right? You definitely take your highest performance and most heavily armed plane and make it a bomber. Yeah! Idiot 😓. But in the end Hitler gave him like 20 or 30 for the Interceptor role. So, he said, he would have maybe ten operational at any given time to fight. But he was saying that if it he would have given him all the 262s being produced, he could have had up to three hundred one a given day! 300 Me 262s to attack USAAF in day and RAF Bomber Command at night. Now, even he said, that wouldn't have changed the outcome. But it would have been a much tougher fight. And, who knows, could have seen 262s go head to head with Gloster Meteor! That would have been interesting!

[1953] Excellent autobiography from Luftwaffe ace Heinz Knocke. He had 33 confirmed victories and 19 unconfirmed, all on the Western Front against the USAAF and RAF, including many four engined bombers. Would make a great movie. For more, see my Facebook group - Eagles Of The Reich

this is for games where you dont have to purchase DLC in order for the game to be crossover, the characters have to be in the base game. i know kingdom hearts is a stretch as the story is original with original characters but it is still disney x final fantasy and characters from those games make appearances
