No, the ace of aces Hartmann flew Bf-109's and in JG 52, almost exclusively against the Soviets (345 kills!!), but he did have 7 kills against American airplanes. (I just double-checked that with wikipedia). This 190 was flown by Otto Stamburger. Not sure if he survived the war...most did not.

JG26, without researching, the name Eric Hartman keeps coming to mind. Is it his plane?
Douglas Castleman
Thanks very much, John!
