Notes
After two years in an artillery regiment, Laumann's request for a transfer to the German Air Service was approved. While with Jasta 66, his first victory was over a SPAD during the dogfight in which his commander, Rudolf Windisch, was killed. Laumann, who's Fokker D.VII carried the initials "AL" on the fuselage, was the last member of Jagdgeschwader I to be awarded the Blue Max.
