Vizefeldwebel Michael Hutterer MMC IC was a World War I flying ace credited with eight aerial victories.
By war's end, he had shot down eight enemy aircraft, been awarded both classes of the Iron Cross, and received another promotion, to Vizefeldwebel.
As World War I began, he reported for duty in Bavaria's 2nd Machine Gun Company on 4 August 1914.
There is no record of his activities for the next few months, though German policy customarily called for rookie pilots to fly two-seaters while they gained flight and combat experience; this service also served as a sort of audition for single-seat fighters.
[1] Shortly after war's end, Michael Hutterer was honored with the Bavarian Military Merit Cross 2nd Class with Swords.
