OK, not a fighter, here's where we went with this guy: Sargeant Karl Bauer (FFA4 in summer, 1916) Anhalt Friedrich Cross, 2.kl. gazetted 28 June 1916 in Feldflieger Abteilung 4 EK1/EK2 Brunswick EAK2 Bavarian MMK1wK/X Honor Cross for Combattants Bavarian 15-Year LS Cross (bumped down to Luftwaffe 12/4) Repeat on the EK2, 1939-45 Bavarian Pilot Badge He was a mechanic until at least 22Feb18 when he was posted to FEA 1b. He may have received pilot training at that time, but I lose track of him. This is what I have: (Sergeant) FeldLuftAbt 2 _______ 2Aug14 - 11Dec14 FFA 4b ____________ 11Dec14 - 15Jan17 (renumbered) (Vzfw.) FA 47b ____________ 15Jan17 - 10Jan18 AFP 3 _____________ 10Jan18 - 22Feb18 FEA 1b ____________ 22Feb18 - Vizefeldwebel Bauer, Pilot, FA 293(A)b, wounded in action 16 September 1918. Additional Bauers: 22.06.1918 Vizefeldwebel Josef Bauer (F) in der Gegend von Ayette durch Bodenbeschu? schwer verwundet 16.09.1918 Vizefeldwebel Hans Bauer (F) und Leutnant der Reserve Heinz Jordan (B) im Luftkampf mit 8 Sopwith Camel schwer verwundet. Das Flugzeug geriet in Brand und die Besatzung konnte sich mit dem Fallschirm retten. Unteroffizier Bauer erlitt einen Bauchschuss, Leutnant Jordan eine leichte Knieverletzung. (Kofl 17 Bericht Nr.55 vom 19.09.1918) So we have several Bauers, perhaps the names were annoted incorrectly on the casualties list. In any event that unit was a support unit, not a jagdstaffel
