Johannes Naumann (11 October 1917 – 22 March 2010) is a pilot in the Luftwaffe of Nazi Germany during World War II. A fighter ace, he was a recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross. Naumann was credited with 34 aerial victories claimed in roughly 350 combat missions during World War II.[1] Naumann credited his father with inspiring him to become a fighter pilot. Naumann went on to fly both the Me 109 and the Fw 190 in combat during World War II, and while he also trained on the Me 262, he never flew the jet operationally.[2]
