This particular airplane was flown by
Oberleutnant Fritz Stehle in which he gained the last air combat victory
for the Luftwaffe on May 8th at 4.00pm when he shot down a Bell P-39Q
Airacobra of 127th Guards Fighter Regiment and piloted by Lieutenant S.G
Stepanov. Stepanov was killed during the engagement becoming the
last pilot killed in air combat during WW II.
