Jindra was the Austro-Hungarian Empire's second highest scoring two-seater ace in World War I. Posted to Flik 1 as an observer on 10 September 1914, he scored 9 victories and was shot down three times. In January 1918, he briefly commanded Fliegerersatz-kompanie 11 before he assumed command of Fliegergruppe G, the Austro-Hungarian bombing group on the Italian front. While serving in this capacity, he was badly injured in a night flying accident. Post-war, Jindra became the Commander in Chief of the Czech Air Force. |
