Military unit
Royal Prussian Jagdstaffel 74, commonly abbreviated to Jasta 74, was a "hunting group" (i.e., fighter squadron) of the "Luftstreitkräfte", the air arm of the Imperial German Army during World War I. The squadron would score over 22 aerial victories during the war, including a night time victory. The unit's victories came at the expense of one pilot killed in action, one wounded in action, and one taken prisoner of war.
