Royal Bavarian Jagdstaffel 78, commonly abbreviated to Jasta 78, 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 eight aerial victories during the war, including one observation balloon downed. The unit's victories came at the expense of two killed in action, one killed in flying accidents, and three wounded in action.[1]
