Franz Schall completed his pilot training in 1943 and was immediately transferred to JG 52 on the eastern front. Schall's skill and reputation as a fighter pilot grew quickly and by August 1944 he already had 109 kills. In September 1944 he was recruited by Major Walther Nowotny to his Erprobungskommando operating the brand new Me-262 Jet Fighter. Schall scored his 133rd and last victory on 10th April, 1945. He then attempted an emergency landing in his damaged aircraft bit it rolled into a bomb crater and exploded. Schall died instantly.
