Another attempt at a skin I did a couple of years back. I'm glad to see some improvement since then. I based it both on the period photograph and the profile by Claes Sundin.

 

Emil Lang (14 January 1909 – 3 September 1944), nicknamed "Bully", was credited with 173 aerial victories—144 on the Eastern Front, 29 on the Western Front—and one Soviet MTB sunk in 403 combat missions.

Posted to a fighter wing on the Eastern Front, Lang claimed his first aerial victories in March 1943. He was credited with 72 victories in a three-week period, among them an unsurpassed total of 18 on 3 November 1943. He received the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross on 22 November 1943 for his 119 victories to that time. By March 1944, his claims totaled 144, for which he received the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves on 11 April 1944. Transferred to the Western Front, he claimed his 150th victim during the Normandy Invasion on 14 June 1944. He scored his last three victories on 26 August 1944; on 3 September 1944, he was killed in action over Belgium.

Fantastic skin. 
 

Bully Lang died when he tried to fly an airplane with defective landing gear - could not get the gear to stay up but he took off with it anyway and it cost him his life when he and his wingman got bounced. (his wingman escaped and was the last person to see Lang going down with the gear extended)
