Military unit

**Royal Prussian Jagdstaffel 25**, commonly abbreviated as **Jasta 25**, was a "hunting group" ([fighter squadron](/source/Fighter_squadron)) of the *[Luftstreitkräfte](/source/Luftstreitkr%C3%A4fte)*, the air arm of the [Imperial German Army](/source/Imperial_German_Army) during [World War I](/source/World_War_I). The squadron would score 54 aerial victories during the War – 46 enemy aircraft and eight opposing [observation balloons](/source/Observation_balloons). It would suffer two pilots [killed in action](/source/Killed_in_action), one pilot killed in a flying accident, and two others injured in mishaps.[1][2]

## History

Jasta 25 was founded on 28 November 1916, and mobilized on 1 December. It began operations in [Macedonia](/source/Macedonia_(region)), using [Halberstadt D.IIs](/source/Halberstadt_D.II). It scored its first success on 10 December 1916, and took its first casualty on 18 February 1917. It continued operations until the end of the war brought about the dissolution of the *Luftstreitkräfte*.[1][2]
