I would have to say Werner Molders. He developed the "finger four" which is still used today he also develpoed the idea of the forward air controller. that and he was the youngest general of the luftwaffe, got to 100 kills before anyone else speaks volumes about him. He was also a team player helping new pilots learn the techniques to become experten. He got the nickname "vati"-Daddy from his squad members because of this. He was also grounded by Goring because he of his position in the luftwaffe and his propaganda value

Excellent sites.

I'm currently building Novotny's White 8, but have never thought of building based on an aces theme.

For me it has to Heinz Bar for the Axis, and Douglas bader for the Allies.

If only for the disability that Bader had to overcome simply to get into a cockpit, let alone become an ace and an excellent combat commander.

I can't read it either. Scroll down to the bottom of the page & click on the German cross on the right until the page says "Canhadores" on the top left. (must be the medals section) By clicking on the underlined pilot's name, a page will open that usually contains a few color profiles of his aircraft.
You just gotta "poke around" on the site, but there's some good profiles, pics & Luftweaffe medals there. Good luck !

Here's a great site for Luftwaffe aces. Its not in English, but there are statistics & photos that cover a great number of aces.

When I build Luftwaffe aircraft, I'm more driven by the paint scheme than anything else. If an ace happens to have a bird with great camo, then I'll build it.

So guys, let me knoow each from you k, I want to hear opinion from all you guys and tell me your favorite luftwaffe ace pilots or if not any allies pilots are also welcomed too..
