See main article: Hans Martin Pippart.
Hans Martin Pippart (1888-1918) was a German First World War fighter ace credited with confirmed aerial victories over 15 enemy airplanes and seven observation balloons. Unusually, he first became an ace before joining a fighter squadron, scoring six victories with Kampfstaffel 1. Also unusually, he destroyed four observation balloons in this string of six victories. After a transfer to Jagdstaffel 13, he scored his first four victories as a fighter pilot. Transferred to command Jagdstaffel 19, he would score 12 more wins before his death in action on 11 August 1918.[1]
