Fritz Führer

Does anyone have information about german pilot Fritz Führer, please ? Fritz Führer was a early pioneer for atlantic-crossing. Later Ju 52/3m - pilot for the january 1939 earthquake in Chile. In WWII, (i think) he is flying Bv222 - flying boats and after WWII, he founded an airline in Chile with C-47 / DC-3. I think he starts his flying career in WWI.

A 'musketeer' Fritz Fuhrer from Gelsenkirchen was listed as wounded in Verlustlisten on 1915-01-15 whilst serving with Reserve-Infanterie-Regiment 118. Could be the same man as many joined the Air Service after wounds made them unfit for further service in the trenches.
