DOERR, Gustav. (1887-1928)

DOERR, Gustav. (1887-1928). Leutanant. Victories = 35. Highest Award = Golden Military Merit Cross.

Enlisted in the infantry in 1908 and served until 1915 on the Western Front when he transferred to the GAAS.

He had a steady career with FA 6, 68, 257 and Jasta 45 with which he had his first confirmed victory - a Sopwith 1.1/2. Strutter - on the 17th March 1918.

He was at the relatively advanced age of 31 years when he achieved his first confirmed aerial victory and managed to survive the entire Great War. His final confirmed victory was on the 30th October 1918 and was a Salmson 2.

Sadly, due to the ending of the War he never received the PLM although many other lesser scoring aces did.
