After Jasta 15 was redesignated Jasta 18, Raben continued as CO of Jasta
18 until he was shot down. He was CO of 'Jasta 15' for only 5 days, but
he was CO of the actual Jasta (whether designated at 15 or 18) for some
considerably longer period. None of Raben's 4 victories came during the
5-day period the Jasta was designated as Jasta 15 and Raben was CO so far
as I can tell.
