Heinz Bär joined the German Luftwaffe in 1935 and scored his first aerial victory in 1939. Since his aircraft at the time wore a white number 13, he considered 13 to be his lucky number and all of his regular future aircraft wore a 13 as well. During World War II Bar flew over 1,000 missions and accumulated 220 confirmed aerial victories, 16 of these while flying a Me-262 jet fighter. On April 24, 1944, Bar scored his 200th victory when he shot down a B-24 Liberator while flying his reserve Fw-190A ‘Red 13’. Bar survived the war despite being shot down several times.

The Focke-Wulf Fw 190 was a German single-seat fighter aircraft used by the Luftwaffe during World War II. The prototype was first flown on June 1, 1939 and production deliveries began in late 1941. The Fw 190 proved to be suitable for a wide variety of roles, including; air superiority fighter, strike fighter and ground attack. From 1941 to 1945, over 20,000 Fw 190s were built.
