Stabfeldwebel Johann Lasi (born 1890, date of death unknown) was a World War I Austro-Hungarian flying ace, a Croat by ethnicity, credited with five aerial victories on 22 Aug 1916, while acting as a rear gunner for Julius Arigi. Only an officer could man the rear gun but Arigi could not find one that day and had asked 25-year-old Lasi who was a mechanic at the time.[1][2]
