Richard (not Arthur) LAUMANN - any info

Hello all,

what do we know about Richard LAUMANN. Up to now I only know that he was a member of Jasta 10 in 1918 (from April to July, and then from August to the EOW).

He is not the PLM Arthur LAUMANN.

Best regards

Thorsten

Hi Thorsten

He was a member of the Richthofen (Jage I) association during the 1930s ,and according to this and other sources his first name was actually Rudolf

He was born 13.07.1895 rather certain in Essen, I havent searched for his birth certificate yet.
Apparently promoted Lt dR 12.02.1918 (I Essen).

During the 1930s he was living in Münster/Westf.

Excellent work Soderbaum a Gefr Rudolf Laumann from Essen received a light wound on 1915-06-16 whilst serving with Fld Art Reg 88 if the same man perhaps this prompted his joining the Air Service.
