HANS-JOACHIM MARSEILLE - (1920 - 1942) German ace serving principally in North Africa, he had 158 kills in 482 sorties. Marselle was awarded a Knights Cross with Diamonds, rated by Galland as the war's best pilot, killed bringing in his crippled Me-109. Extremely rare A.L.S. in German, 1p. 8vo., [n.p., n.d.], writing to an autograph collector. In part: '...I am sending you a signed card as requested...I really was very excited about your nice letter and I wish you much joy collecting the pictures...' Marseille signs at the conclusion in blue ink. Fine.
