The Painting: The classic Ju 87 B-2 Stuka, in all of its ugliness, was made famous by
Rudel. It is incredible what he accomplished with an aircraft that was outdated and
vulnerable in the Western Theatre. The markings depict late 1941 when Rudel flew with
the Staff of III./SG 2. Artist Jerry Crandall personally interviewed Valerian Dill, one of
Rudel's instructors for details about the aircraft and its pilots, who also furnished
valuable original photos.
Hans-Ulrich Rudel joined the Luftwaffe in 1936, eventually becoming the most highly
decorated pilot in history being awarded the only golden Knights cross with Oakleaves,
Swords and Diamonds. In addition he was the first officer to fly 1000 missions,
eventually recording a total of 2530 sorties, destroyed one battleship, one cruiser, one
destroyer, trains, anti-aircraft guns, landing craft, about 800 vehicles and over 500 soviet
tanks.
