Re: German fighter pilot who flew the most combat missions?
To quote from the late Ernst Obermaier:
The crews of the Stuka and assault aircraft (Hs 123, Hs 129, Bf 109, FW 190) achieved mission counts not even remotely reached by any other air forces, or within the Luftwaffe. About two hundred crewmen are known to have flown over 500 missions - and twenty-three flew more than 1,000 missions. Hans-Ulrich Rudel of the St.G. 2 flew over 2,500 missions. Crews of both the St.G. 2 and the St.G. 77 flew over 100,000 sorties on the Ju 87 by the spring of 1944, before converting to the FW-190.
