Friedrich Altemeier (4 June 1886 – 18 September 1968) was a German World War I flying ace credited with 21 confirmed aerial victories.
In September, Altemeier transferred to Royal Prussian Jagdstaffel 14 to fly single-seat fighters.
[2] He used twin-gunned Albatros D.III fighters,[4] often emblazoned with the triple rings of the Krupp Works,[citation needed] to down a Nieuport 17.
[2] Four months later, he began to score again, downing a RNAS Sopwith Triplane on 7 July and a Spad VII five days later.
[2] Then he was awarded the enlisted man's equivalent to the Blue Max, the Military Merit Cross, on 11 April 1918.
Altemeier and his Staffelfuehrer (Commander), Heinrich Kroll, had accounted for half the wins scored by their squadron.
