Background story Texts in german (left side) and englisch (right side)!In 2019 the Tactical Air Wing 51 “Immelmann” celebrated it’s 25th anniversary. For this occasion, the Wing designed a special aircraft paint scheme to honour its name-giver Max Immelmann.Max Franz Immelmann, born September 21st, 1890 in Dresden, began his military carreer as a cadet of the Saxonian Army in Dresden in April 1905. In April 1911 he was assigned to the 2nd Railroad Regiment in Berlin-Schoeneberg, where he worked in the testing department, which mostly coincided with his interests in a technical profession.In 1912 Immelmann left the active service for the reserve to be able to study mechanical engineering. With the start of World War I in 1914, Immelmann applied for the flying branch as a student but was initially drafted to his former regiment as a railwayman. November 12th, 1914 his wish was fulfilled, and he was reassigned to the flying branch where he immediately started his practical training at the Johannisthal Airfield and his theoretical training in Adlershof.After the successful completion of his training on March 27th, 1915, he was assigned to fly artillery reconnaissance. Immelmann received the Iron Cross first class after his first victory in air to air combat on August 1st, 1915. Besides multiple other medals for his following victories he became known as “The Eagle of Lille”. Immelmann received the “Pour le Mérite” together with Oswald Boelcke after 8 air to air victories on January 12th, 1915.Max Immelmann took off for his last flight on June 18th, 1916 around 09:30 pm, during which his plane broke apart in flight and crashed. First Lieutenant Max Immelmann had achieved a total of 15 air to air victories at this point and was one of the first flying aces.He died at the age of only 26.

What is more or less standard on US Airforce jets - the names of the crew on the cockpit rail - can be found on german jets only now and then, namely on birds with special paintings for special events. That there are names under the canopy does not mean that this bird is only flown by this crew or pilot, but it is a great honour for the pilots to find his name on a jet of his wing. For little more money you can have your name(s) being printed on this special place e.g. as a special gift for a special friend or just as a gag for you. Just order this extra feature as an extra article and specify in the info-box of the ordering process which name(s) you like to have at what place beneath the cockpits. One last thin: the larger the print is, the better and more impressive the writings can be seen (see also our big size prints in A2 and A1). Please specify in the input box above what names and ranks you want to display!
