Help Identifying Commanders – FFA 38 and FFA 46 (1914)
Dear Aerodrome Community,
I am currently engaged in detailed research on German aerial operations during the 1914 Eastern Front campaigns, with a focus on unit structure and leadership within the Fliegertruppe. I’ve encountered two persistent gaps that I hope someone here might be able to help resolve:
Feldflieger-Abteilung 46
Several archival sources—including wartime deployment tables—list an “Oberleutnant Ulrich” in association with FFA 46 during late 1914. However, I’ve been unable to locate a definitive match for this name in personnel rosters. It remains unclear whether this refers to a confirmed officer, an abbreviation, or a placeholder.
→ Has anyone encountered a verified full name or assignment record for this officer?
Feldflieger-Abteilung 38
Active on the Eastern Front during the autumn campaigns of 1914, FFA 38’s commanding officer during its initial deployment (approximately September–December 1914) remains unidentified in the SB volumes and other secondary sources I’ve consulted.
→ Any documentation, names, or even educated leads would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance for any assistance! CjB
