BiographyEarly lifeFriedrich Mallinckrodt was born on 15 August 1894 in Essen, the German Empire.[1] Military service{{see also|Aerial victory standards of World War I}}Friedrich Mallinckrodt served in the infantry in the 70th Regiment of Foot, in which he enlisted before the war. In May 1915, he was commissioned as a Leutnant. On July 6, 1915 he transferred to the Luftstreitkräfte.[1] After training, beginning in January 1916, he served in the 5th Kagohl, a tactical bomber wing. By April 1916, he was transferred to an ad hoc fighter unit, Kampfeinsitzerkommando Sivry (Combat Single-Seater Command Sivry). While near Verdun on 30 April, he claimed his first enemy aircraft shot down; the victory went unconfirmed. On 10 September, he was posted to a fighter squadron, Jagdstaffel 6. He would not score his first official victory until 28 October 1916, when he downed a Caudron over Villeselve. Once returned to Jasta 6, he had another unconfirmed victory on 30 December 1916.[1] Mallinckrodt scored his second confirmed win, over a Sopwith 1 1/2 Strutter on 4 January 1917. His combat career was interrupted by a brief stint as an instructor at the Jastaschule at Valenciennes. He then transferred to another fighter squadron, Jagdstaffel 20. In March 1917, he got four confirmed victories in an eight-day stretch, to bring his total tally to six. On 30 April, he was wounded for the fifth time; this one was severe enough to remove him from combat duty. After recovery, he was assigned to the Technical Commission of the Luftstreitkräfte for the remainder of the war.[1][2] Friedrich Mallinckrodt was awarded the Knight's Cross of the House Order of Hohenzollern.[1] As German medals were awarded in a progressive fashion, this meant that he almost certainly won both classes of the Iron Cross.[3] Also, five wounds should have qualified him for the Wound Badge.[4] Later lifeNo more is known of Mallinckrodt other than that he died during World War II.[1] Sources of information1. ^1 2 3 4 5 Franks et al 1993, pp. 161-162. 2. ^Website page on Mallinckrodt Retrieved 10 January 2018. 3. ^Website page on the Iron Cross Retrieved 10 January 2018. 4. ^Website page on the Wound Badge Retrieved 10 January 2018.
