@Chris
Of course were there prewar documents for qualified pilots and for the pilot badge. Prewar there were awards document and during the war there were more preliminary documents.
@Poulton
It seems this document was directly hand out from KoGenLuft and it has no Unit stamp and sign. This is unussual and i have to check if i ever seen a document like this. Why at this time the Unit is still called FFA 7 it is unknown.

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?

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.

During my time at the Bundeswehr, I served in the General Dr. Speidel barracks, and had the honor to meet the wife of Gen. Speidel and his son. It was during the festivities to the rename of the barracks to General Dr. Speidel Kaserne.
