    Hello everyone. It is my latest drawing, a portrait: “Otto Kittel”. It is a commission from a regular customer.

    I have added some medals and documents to decorate the drawing. This is a small collection started months ago to accompany some drawings. Some of them are very interesting pieces. On the right, a map, WW2 era (replica). Below, a Luftwaffe Wehrpass (replica). Below, Iron Cross 2nd Class (Eisernes Kreuz 2. Klasse – abbreviated as EK II or E.K.II.), original. Below, Eastern Front Medal (original). Otto Kittel has on his jacket (drawing) the following badges: Front Flying Clasp of the Luftwaffe. In the middle: Iron Cro 1st Class. Below: Pilot’s Badge. A ribbon (Equivalent to an EK II) is gripped by a button.

    Otto Kittel (21 February 1917 – 14 or 16 February 1945) was a German fighter pilot during World War II. He flew 583 combat missions on the Eastern Front, claiming 267 aerial victories, making him the fourth highest scoring ace in aviation history according to authors John Weal and Jerry Scutts. Kittel claimed all of his victories against the Red Air Force.
