Vizefeldwebel Erich Buder (14 January 1896 – 24 May 1975) was a World War I flying ace credited with twelve aerial victories.[1][2]
Buder served with Jagdstaffel 84 before transferring to Jagdstaffel 26. He scored his wins with this squadron between 26 March and 4 November 1918, with two victories possibly unconfirmed at war's end. He was transferred to Kampfeinsitzerstaffel 6 as the war ended. Besides the First and Second Class Iron Cross, he received the Golden Military Merit Cross, which was the enlisted men's equivalent of the Blue Max, on 2 November 1918.[1][2]
