Jasta 18 vs 13th Aero Squadron

[John_P]

Thanks to this Forum and guys like Dan San Abbotts, I've garnered much information over the past 7 years about my great uncle, George Kull of the 13th Aero, KIA 14 Sept, 1918 by Ltn. Hans Muller of Jasta 18. Kull was one of three 13th pilots credited to Muller that day. I also seem to recall that the 13th and Jasta 18 tangled at least two more times before the end of the war, with the 13th losing at least one more and possibly two more pilots to Muller. Can anyone confirm this?

The info I have says that four Spad XIII,s from the 13th Aero were shot down on Sept. 14th and that he shot down another spad on Sept. 21 .

I forgot to mention in my last post that the info I have says that Ltn. Hans Muller was the victor in these battles .

Yes, Muller was credited with 3 of the 4 SPADs downed on 14 Sept. I think he was responsible for downing either "Big Steve" Brody or Gerry Stiles on the 21st but would like to confirm.. thx. Muller survived the war and died in 1964

According to "Above the Lines" by Franks, Bailey and Guest Muller was responsible for bringing down all four Spads on Sept. 14.

I believe Muller was credited with another SPAD the afternoon of 14 Sept (aero squadron?) and three of the 4 downed in the morning action with the 13th, my great uncle being the last of the three
