Jagdstaffel 75

Royal Prussian Jagdstaffel 75, commonly abbreviated to Jasta 75, 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 four aerial victories during the war, including an observation balloon downed. The unit's victories came at the expense of one wounded in action.[1]

gollark: But light isn't actually continuous in reality due to things.
gollark: Oh, those are already using optical phased arrays to track photon count in an arbitrary number of discrete frequency buckets.
gollark: I mean, a Fourier transform would allow bees to incurse into the frequency domain instead of the time domain.
gollark: Alternatively, something something Fourier transform of inbound light signal?
