Hans Wolff

Who was Hans Wolff?

Leutnant Hanns Joachim Wolff was a World War I flying ace credited with ten aerial victories.

Wolff served with FA 216 until 6 July 1917, when he was reassigned to Jasta 11. He was wounded in action on 14 August, and again on 23 November. On 18 March 1918, Wolff shot down and killed his first victim, which was possibly Lt. John McCudden. Wolff then steadily scored for the next two months, downing his tenth on 15 May. He and his Fokker Dr.I were shot down the following day, most probably by Lt. Horace Barton of No. 24 Squadron, RAF.
