Leman enlisted in the army on 14 November 1914. In 1916, he transferred to the air service and completed flight training on 29 June. In April 1917, he was promoted to Praporshik (Ensign) and scored his first victory in May while serving with the 19th Corps Fighter Detachment. Severely wounded while scoring his fifth victory on 26 September 1917, Leman was hospitalized for months. He returned to duty on 22 November 1917 but was incapable of flying combat missions. Less than a month later, Leman died from a gunshot wound to the head. It's unclear whether he shot himself or was the victim of Bolshevik revolutionaries. |
