Jagdstaffel
A Jagdstaffel (plural ''Jadgdstaffeln''; often abbreviated to Jasta) was a fighter ''staffel'' (squadron) of the German Imperial ''Luftstreitkräfte'' during World War I.
==Background==
Before April 1916, the German Military Aviation Service, ''(Die Fliegertruppen des deutschen Kaiserreiches)'' which had existed since 1912, was largely organised in small general purpose units (''Feldfliegerabteilung'') - although the formation of the first specialised bombing and close support units had begun during 1915. The ''Feldfliegerabteilung'' were completely subservient to the Army command to which they were attached.〔Gray & Thetford, p.ix〕
In the aftermath of the Battle of Verdun - during which the German side lost the air superiority built up during the so-called Fokker Scourge, and in particular, as a result of the superior performance of the Royal Flying Corps during the Battle of the Somme, a complete reorganisation of the German flying service took place. It was greatly expanded, renamed the ''Deutschen Luftstreitkräfte'' (reflecting a far greater degree of autonomy, although it remained an integral part of the army), and acquired a far greater number and variety of specialist units, including the first single-seater fighter units in German service, the ''Jagdstaffeln'' (literally, "hunting squadrons").〔Cheesman, p.12〕
