Max Müller, later to become a famous German ace with 38 victories, returned to FA 1b and flying on 9 October. On 31 March 1915, flying an Otto 'pusher' biplane, he barely survived a hard dogfight against a French-flown Farman. Despite badly damaged elevators and a dozen bullets in his plane, he returned safely to his base.^[2]
