Born in 1912 Adolf Galland became the youngest "General der
Jagdflieger" (General of Fighters) in November 1941 at the age of 29. One of Germany's
best known Luftwaffe Aces with 104 "kills", Galland was also famous for
his alleged remark "give me a staffel of Spitfires". This remark was allegedly made
during the actual Battle of Britain in 1940 to
Hermann Göring when he questioned the
bravery of the escort pilots led by Galland. However Galland denied he ever made the remark. Adolf Galland was seen by Allied pilots
as a brave adversary who cared about those around him. He died at age
83 on February 9, 1996.
