Heinrich Setz
Heinrich Setz (12 March 1915 – 13 March 1943) was a German ''Luftwaffe'' military aviator during World War II, a fighter ace credited with 138 enemy aircraft shot down in 274 combat missions. The majority of his victories were claimed over the Eastern Front, with six claims over the Western Front.
Born in Gundelsdorf, Setz volunteered for military service in the ''Luftwaffe'' of the Third Reich in 1936. Following flight training and a period at a fighter pilot training school as an instructor, he was posted to ''Jagdgeschwader'' 77 (JG 77—77th Fighter Wing) in 1940. Following the Norwegian Campaign he claimed his first three aerial victories in late 1940 in that theater. Setz was appointed ''Staffelkapitän'' (squadron leader) of the 4. ''Staffel'' (4th squadron) of JG 77 in June 1941 which he led in Operation Barbarossa, the German invasion of the Soviet Union. Following his 43rd aerial victory he was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross on 31 December 1941 and the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves on 23 June 1942 after 81 victories. He claimed his 100th aerial victory on 24 July 1942.
In February 1943 Setz was appointed ''Gruppenkommandeur'' (group commander) of the I. ''Gruppe'' (1st group) of ''Jagdgeschwader'' 27 (JG 27—27th Fighter Wing) which was based in France on the Western Front. Setz claimed three more victories before he was killed in action on his 274th combat mission in a midair collision with a Supermarine Spitfire on 13 March 1943.
