Hauptmann Martin Zander was a World War I flying ace credited with five aerial victories.
[1] He was appointed to command one of the original German fighter squadrons, Jagdstaffel 1, before becoming an instructor.
Then, as the German military concentrated their fighters into squadrons, Zander was posted to lead Jagdstaffel 1.
He would shoot down three British airplanes to become an ace while leading this squadron—one victory each in August, September, and October 1916.
On 10 November 1916, he was transferred from combat duty to become an instructor, and saw no further battle assignments.
