Leutnant Rudolf Rienau (17 November 1898 - 23 May 1925) was a German fighter ace credited with 6 Aerial victories during World War I. On 13 September 1918 he was shot down and successfully bailed out of his Fokker D.VII from just 500 meters. He became a flight instructor after the war, but died in a flying accident in 1925.
Early Life and Service
Rudolf Rienau was born on the island of Sylt off the coast of Germany and Denmark. He served in the infantry from mid-1915 until spring 1917, when in April he volunteered for pilot training under the Luftstreitkrafte.[1]
Aerial Service
Rienau joined Jasta 1 in October 1917, but was quickly moved to Jasta 19 in which he gained his first aerial victory in March 1918 and his second in June. On September 13th 1918, while flying north of Charey, Rienau's Fokker D.VII was hit by fire from an American SPAD of the 13th Aero Squadron and went into a dive. After attempting to right the aircraft, he bailed out 500 meters above the ground, his Fokker crashing 150 meters from where he landed in his parachute.[1] He returned to combat the day after the crash, scoring his 3rd victory against a Breguet reconnaissance aircraft and finishing the war with 2 more victories in his Fokker.[2]
Postwar Years
After the war, Rienau became a flying instructor. He was killed in a flying accident at Staaken, outside of Berlin on May 25 1925.[1]
