Leutnant Adolf Schulte (24 December 1894—12 April 1917) IC was a German World War I flying ace credited with nine aerial victories. His short gallant career would end in a fatal midair crash with his enemies.

Early life

Adolf Schulte was born in Ludenscheit, Germany on 24 December 1894.[1]

World War I

Schulte joined Jagdstaffel 12 in November 1916. He became its first ace during the opening months of 1917, scoring nine victories.[2] On 12 April 1917, he first downed Edwin Hayne.[3] He subsequently collided with a Royal Aircraft Factory FE.2d from No. 18 Squadron RAF to score his final victory, killing both himself and the British pilot and observer.[4]
