Royal Prussian "Jagdstaffel" 29, commonly abbreviated to "Jasta" 29, was a "hunting group" (i.e., fighter squadron) of the "Luftstreitkräfte", the air arm of the Imperial German Army during World War I. The squadron would score 76 aerial victories during the war, at the cost of 13 of their pilots killed in action, two killed in flying accidents, 12 wounded in action, one injured in a flying accident and one taken prisoner. History. Royal Prussian "Jagdstaffel" 29 was formed on 28 December 1916 at the "Fliegerersatz-Abteilung" (Replacement Detachment) 5 training facility at Hannover in Germany. It scored its  first victory on 16 March 1917, when Wilhelm Allmenröder incinerated an enemy observation balloon. The fledgling squadron would be blooded just under a month later, suffering its first casualty on 11 April 1917. "Jasta" 29 would serve to the war's end. Operations.
