Adolf Galland was a German Luftwaffe general and flying ace during World War II. He flew in 705 combat missions and was credited with 104 aerial victories against the Western Allies. Galland started his career as a glider pilot in 1929. During the Spanish Civil War in 1937, he volunteered for the Condor Legion and flew ground attack missions. In early 1940, Galland persuaded his superiors to allow him to become a fighter pilot and flew Messerschmitt BF-109s during the Battle of France and Battle of Britain. By November 1941, his tally of victories had increased to 96 was promoted as the General der Jagdflieger. In late January and early February 1942, Galland planned and commanded the Luftwaffe’s air cover for Kriegsmarine Operation Cerberus, which was a major success, earning him the Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves, Swords, and Diamonds. But his disagreements with Hermann Göring made their relationship collapse in early January 1945 and Gallad was relieved of his command. After the war, Galland worked as a consultant for Argentina’s government and returned to Germany, where he managed his own business. He died on 9 February 1996.
