Hi Mercin, i think the book is in german. About the german Flieger Bataillone (FB) here some basic infos. Flieger Bataillon Nr. 1 Flieger Bataillon Nr. 2 Flieger Bataillon Nr. 3 Flieger Bataillon Nr. 4 Bayerisches Flieger Bataillon On the bottom you find a section called "durch das Bataillon aufgestellte Abteilungen" Means units introduced by this battalion. The number on the strapes of EM and NCO are assigned to the Flieger-Ersatz-Abteilungen not to Flieger Batallion. During the war there were no battalions. This were transfered to the units you find behind the links. Officer wear no number on the strapes only the winged propeller or the strapes of their regiment. Regards Alex

Hi Marcin, this is a complex issue and i don't think i can cover it with some sentences. But there is a new book about the imperial german aviation comming out the next months. I have this info from the author. I'm sure this book answer all your questions. I will write more when i get infos from the author. If you are interessted on this topic you should spend the money for this book. Regarding the identification of personal on pictures is more difficult. There are no guidlines how to distinguish this. It depend on the situation and on the hints from the picture itself. Regards Alex

I found this old thread and i would like to show this nice case with a miniature of a pilot badge on the top and a engraved signature of Hptm Albert von Malortie. This was a gift from Malortie to LtdR Heinrich Kessler pilot and OzbV at FA A 284. Kessler was a long time member of FFA 58 / FA A 284 from 1916 to 1918. Regards Alex

Thanks Rick. In the meantime I found the SEHO award to Steegmann. The LüH is new for me. Can you please look for Hptm Hans Barth. All this guys were commanders of LZ 87 but the order is unknown. I thought it is possible to find out in which order they are when I see the award date. I don't have another source. Maybe it works. I know that Steegmann was commander of LZ 87 from at least Sept. to Dez. 1916. Regards Alex
