Hi everyone,
In 'German Fighter Units, June 1917-1918' by Alex Imrie, it states that the first successful Parachute descent from a German single-seater was accomplished on June 27th, 1918. Lt. Steinbrecher, part of a formation of Albatros D.Va's from Jasta 46, had his fuel tank punctured by a British fighter, and was forced to bail out. Two days later, Lt. Udet was forced to do the very same thing.
regards
