World War I units of Three SS Officers

[PF]

What were World War I units served in by the following?
Oscar Dirlewanger (died 1945 in custudy)
Arthur Greiser (executed 1946)
Henrich "Gestapo" Muller (b.1900-missing 1945) IC 2nd Class as pilot?

About Greiser I only know that he fought as a pilot during the first world war.

Ábout Dirlewanger I only know he fought during the first world war.

And about Müller I know he fought as a volunteer during the first world war, don't know any units either. But he ended the war being an NCO.

Thanks.
What is "Bayerische" ? Is the rest of the unit meaning "Flying Section A-287"?

Bayern is a part of southern Germany (like Texas in the U.S.). And yes, "Flying Section" is a correct translation..
