Leutnant August Burkard was a World War I flying ace credited with six aerial victories.[1]
On 1 June 1918, Burkard was posted to Jagdstaffel 29,[2][3] a Fokker D.VII fighter squadron commanded by Harald Auffarth.[4] On the 27th, Burkard staked his first victory claim, which was unconfirmed. He also received the Iron Cross First Class that day. Subsequently, he would score six confirmed victories between 8 August and 16 October 1918.[2]
