It is impossible to say something because the pictures are much to small. Sorry. The FFA 7 was formed as many units at outbreak of war on Aug. 1914. The first commander was Hptm Grade. The unit was renamed to FA 7 on 11.01.1917. FFA 7 / FA 7 was not a bavarian unit. There was another FFA 7b which was a bavarian formation. It is not unussual to find the old name of the unit on a document dated after the rename. How is the name of the pilot? Regards Alex

Thank for your contribution, Fergus. Vary nice piece of history. L 30 was from 03.05.17 -17.11.17 at the Seerappen airship base. Wich is close to Königsberg were the army observer school was located. Maybe the navy officers come over to the army guys for spending some time together, share experiences and drink some beer :-) On one of this occasion or at the end of a courses they brought this gift.

In the year 2013 we have any anniversaries. 200 years iron cross is one of this. Less known is the 100 anniversary of the foudation of the first navy unit. All starts with the "Allerhöchste Kabinettsordre" from 3rd May 1913. Where the german emperor order the creation of two units: 1. Marine-Luftschiffabteilung located at Johannesthal / Berlin 2. Marine-Fliegerabteilung located at Puzig near Danzig. I ask you all to post everything related to the german navy aviation from 1913 to 1920. Everything like badges, documents, paper, medal / ribbon bars, uniform and parts of this. Kind regards Alex
