| | An Eindecker pilot with Kek Metz, Imelmann was selected by Oswald Boelcke for service with Jasta 2. Having scored six victories during the last three months of 1916, Imelmann was the first German ace to be shot down in 1917. In an encounter with a B.E.2c, Immelman's Albatros went down in flames after an accurate burst of machine gun fire struck his fuel tank. |
