"Illu" Juutilainen, top scoring finnish ace and best non-german ace (94 kills). He is unique ace, because his plane was never hit by enemy plane.

As I recall, the only other ace with that honour was Erich Hartmann.  Though I do believe he was hit by enemy flak...what Juutilainen ever hit by flak?

Yes he was. And like Hartmann, he never lost a wingman in combat.

Yes, atleast once he took hit from flak and made forced landing safely.

Hartmann also got hit many times by pieces of destroyed planes, due to the fact that he liked to attack from point-blank range.
