He served as an enlisted man on ground service, while his father paid for private flying lessons. Udet talked his way into piloting first two-seaters, then fighters, despite difficulties and crashes. He froze on his first combat encounter as a fighter pilot in January 1916, but escaped with minor injuries. Udet's first victory came on 18 March 1916. He was commissioned in January 1917, and by the end of 1917 his tally stood at 21. He commanded Jagstaffel or Jasta (Hunting Flight) 37 before being selected to fly with Manfred von Richthofen in Jasta 11 of Jagd Geschwader (Hunting Group) 1. Four Jastas-4, 6, 10, and 11-made up the Group. The place of greatest honor was Jasta 11, alongside the Red Baron. Here Udet scored number 23 on 6 April 1918, before taking leave with a serious ear infection requiring treatment. While at home in Munich, he became engaged, received notice via telegram of being awarded the Pour le Mérite (Blue Max), and read the shocking news that Richthofen had been killed.
