Otto "Bruno" Kittel was a German Luftwaffe ace pilot during World War II and the fourth highest scoring ace in aviation history. He joined the Luftwaffe in 1939 and flew his first combat mission in 1941. Kittel recorded his first aerial victories on June 30, 1941 during the German invasion of the Soviet Union. In early 1943 he began flying a Fw 190 and his total began to rise rapidly. On September 15, 1943 Kittel claimed his 100th aerial victory and on August 26, 1944, while flying Fw 190 “Yellow 5,” he achieved his 200th. On February 16, 1945 Kittel took off with his Wing to engage a formation of 14 Soviet Shturmovik aircraft. During the aerial battle that followed, Kittel was shot down and killed, having scored his 267th and final victory of the war.
