Feldflieger Abteilung (FFA) or Field Flying Companies were field aviation units of the Luftstreitkräfte (German air service) in World War I.^[1] At the start of the conflict, there were thirty-three units, comprising one allocated to each of the eight Army Headquarters and one to each of the twenty-five regular Corps Headquarters. Each unit had six aircraft.^[2]

By March 1915 the number of Feldflieger Abteilung had doubled and separate specialist fighter and bomber units, known as Jastas and Kampfgeschwader, respectively, were being developed.
