Notes
While chauffeur to the Bavarian War Minister, Müller's constant request for a transfer to the Air Service was eventually approved. As Jasta Boelcke's acting commander, he attempted to shoot down an R.E.8 when he was attacked from behind by two S.E.5a's. Rather than burn to death, Müller leaped from his Albatros D.III when it burst into flames.
