The best of the bests of all times with no doubt is Hanno Prettner.

He competed in 8 T.O.C`s  (Tournament of Champions) and won them all!

He competed in 7 F3A World Championships and again won them all.(In 1991 Chip won it - Hanno didn't compete that year)

His last WC was in '93 and he won,he didn't compete ever again.

He won the Worlds in 1983 with a plane called Calypso his own design and that plane was giving to Formula 1 legend Ayrton Senna from Brazil.

Besides that he won the European Championships 16 times.

He never lost a competition.

He retired undefeated.

Some well known models designed by him:

Magic
Curare
Calypso
Supra-Fly
Sensation

He had a tie up with OK Model Mfg. of Japan (the Famous  Pilot Models, Kits, Accessories manufacturer)

Also known as the Hanno Screw, this spin in knife-edge was popularised by many times World Aerobatic Champion Hanno Prettner. Its a difficult one to do right but is not restricted to 3D models alone

@sanjayrai55,
Sirji,
Achanak Hanno Prettner ki yaad kaise aiyee?

Here's one of his...
Recognise it?

90% completed by the late SqnLdr Tariq Ali, and gifted to me by his son, to complete.
I'll complete it, but don't have the courage to fly it!

If I would like to read a history book it would be on aeromodelling, but I couldn't find a decent one.

Anymore legends to know of?

@KKIyer sir I think if Mr. Ali would have been alive he would have loved to see it fly at least once than just dusting on a showcase.
