Notes
In 1914, Müller joined the army and served in the infantry. He transferred to the German Air Service in 1916 and flew two-seaters until the end of 1917. In March 1918, after downing an R.E.8 for his third victory, Müller was shot down over no man's land but managed to make it back to his own lines. In May, Jasta 18 engaged the 103rd Pursuit Squadron and Müller shot down a SPAD for his fifth victory. His victim was probably Paul Baer, the first American ace of the United States Air Service. On 14 September 1918, Müller scored Jasta 18's 100th victory. That morning he encountered the 13th Aero and shot down three SPAD XIII's in 15 minutes. Later the same day, he claimed a fourth SPAD from the same squadron.
