Werner Lucas
Werner Georg Emil Lucas (27 December 1917 – 24 October 1943) was a German ''Luftwaffe'' military aviator during World War II, a fighter ace credited with 106 enemy aircraft shot down. All but one victory were claimed over the Eastern Front, which included 43 bombers and 31 Il-2 Sturmovik ground-attack aircraft. His only victory claimed on the Western Front was over a four-engined heavy bomber.〔Obermaier 1989, p. 161.〕
==World War II==
He joined 4./Jagdgeschwader 3 'Udet' on 8 Februar 1941 as an ''Unteroffizier'', receiving the Luftwaffe Honour Goblet on 2 October 1941 (date from original Goblet); the German Cross in Gold on 27 March 1942; and the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross on 19 September 1942, as a Feldwebel with 57 air victories.
He was appointed Leutnant in November 1942 and held the rank of Hauptmann ''(Staffelkapitän)'' at the time of his death in October 1943. 105 of his claims were made against the Soviet Air Force in 1941–43 while serving on the Eastern Front with Jagdgeschwader 3. On 21 July 1943, Lucas was credited with his 100th aerial victory. He was the 47th ''Luftwaffe'' pilot to achieve the century mark.〔Obermaier 1989, p. 243.〕
Whilst with JG 3 flying from Schiphol, Holland, he was killed in combat with a Spitfire possibly escorting USAAF B-17 Flying Fortress bombers on 24 October 1943, and crashed in the city centre of Leiden Holland. He then, on purpose, crashed his Me 109-G (''Werknummer'' 27080 —factory number— 'White 7') exactly in the courtyard of a hospital on the Hooigracht, thus taking no other people with him than his 106 kills. This made him an unsung hero. His body remains in his plane until this day. ( article on this in Verenigde Vleugels, nr 2 March 2012 )
