After transferring from the infantry to the German Air Service, Kirmaier served with FA(A) 203 before joining KEK J in 1916. Here he scored three victories, including one balloon, during the month of July. On 5 October 1916, he was reassigned to Jasta 2 under Oswald Boelcke. Toward the end of the month, Boelcke was killed and Kirmaier assumed command of Jasta 2. Less than a month later, in a dogfight with two of 24 Squadron's D.H.2s, Kirmaier was killed in action when his Albatros D.II was shot down by Kelvin Crawford and John Andrews. |
