Jagdstaffel 14

Royal Prussian Jagdstaffel 14 was a "hunting group" (i.e., fighter squadron) of the Luftstreitkräfte, the air arm of the Imperial German Army during World War I.

As one of the original German fighter squadrons, the unit would score 57 aerial victories (including five wins over enemy observation balloons) during the war.

[1] Staffelführer Rudolph Berthold was one of Germany's leading aces of World War I, being in a tie for seventh place; he was awarded the Pour le Merite, Military Order of Saint Henry, and Iron Cross.

[4][5] Not far behind Berthold's 44 victories was Josef Veltjens, winner of 35 aerial duels, recipient of the Pour le Merite, Royal House Order of Hohenzollern, and Iron Cross.

[2]Joachim-Friedrich Huth claimed one victory [a balloon]; he would also lose part of his right leg in combat yet would be in the World War II Luftwaffe and retire as a Generalleutnant (Lieutenant General) in 1961.
