Feldflieger Abteilung was the title of the pioneering field aviation units of Die Fliegertruppen des deutschen Kaiserreiches formed in 1912, which became the Luftstreitkräfte on 8 October 1916, during the First World War.

The Deutsche Luftstreitkräfte —known before October 1916 as Die Fliegertruppen des deutschen Kaiserreiches —was the air arm of the Imperial German Army. In English-language sources it is usually referred to as the Imperial German Air Service, although that is not a literal translation of either name. German naval aviators of the Marine-Fliegerabteilung were an integral part of the Imperial German Navy. Both military branches operated aeroplanes, observation balloons and airships.
