Tribute to Friedrich 'Fritz' Höhn by Ivan Berryman. [Postcard]

Artist: Ivan Berryman [browse all Ivan Berryman]

Fritz Höhn was a German Ace of World War One despite only scoring his first victory in the final month of 1917. He is depicted here in his Pfalz D.III of Jasta 21s in the spring of 1918. The red markings on this aircraft were intended to confuse the aim of enemies, but the teddy bear he carried behind the cockpit was just for luck. He later flew a Fokker D.VII and in total claimed 11 enemy aircraft and 10 observation balloons, scoring his last victory on the 3rd of October 1918, the same day on which he himself was shot down and fatally wounded by a French aircraft.
