Brad, remarkable progress to obtain them in a year. After all these years, I am still missing the oberstabsingeniuer tabs.
Thanks for sharing!

It would have been nice if it WAS the glider or retired pilot though!

It is an Air Gunner badge. It is the same style as the Radio Operator/ Air Gunner badge but without the lightning bolts. The eagle face the other direction for the glider and the wings are a little flatter across the top.

Bill, those boards are amazing! Where did you find them?
I did not see the part about the Golden Yellow nebenfarbe being used for the Nautikers. I will have to find my books again!
Paul,
I got them with a pair of Oberingenieur tabs, which led me to believe they were an Oberingenieur d.R. set, but in my opinion, the blue was not quite right for reserves. After reexamining the change order, I now believe the set to an Obernautiker set from after Order LV41 No. 1562 8 Oct, 1941, which also mentions the collar tabs changed from props on dark green to the ingenieur type of props on pink.
Do you agree?

Order LV40 No.569 10 May, 1940 change secondary color from golden yellow to lemon yellow. Branch color dark green.
Order LV41 No. 1562 8 Oct, 1941 change branch color to pink and secondary color to light blue.
Similar to these?
This blue is lighter than my other Ingenieur reserves.

... However, I thought that the golden colored nebenfarbe was more consistent with the early Meteorologist career...
Either way, a very rare set of insignia!
Well it took me almost 2 years to find what I remember seeing. This is from page 94 of the Brian Davis book, "Uniforms and Insignia of the Luftwaffe, Vol.1"
"The Navigator Corps
Officers were originally distinguished from personnel of the other branches of the Luftwaffe by the use of gold-yellow combined with dark green as their arm-of-service colour. Thes Colours were displayed by means of dark green collar patches and shoulder-straps with a secondary colour of gold-yellow on the underlay of green.
Early in 1940 a colour change took place when gold-yellow as the Corps secondary colour was replaced by lemon-yellow."
So this means the pair I have is Navigator Corps.

Wow! 10 months since any new stuff on this thread.
This arrived today. Notice the date The promotion occurred over one year after the navigation corps were disbanded! This is part of a small group consisting of this document and the certificate of citizenship for him and his wife.

Paul,
Your photo would be Fl.Ing a.K Hans Nowak. The stamp appears to be his mailing address as he signed it Hans and sent it to his family in Dresden.
A very nice photo!

An Unknown Flieger-Ingenieur
Can anyone make out the stamp? Is it the person's name or the studio stamp?

Thank you Paddy. It is always a learning opportunity to read the background and history of the pieces in your collection.
Let's see other examples of the Afrika cuff title document I hope some of you have examples to post.

Could one of the moderators be kind enough to change the title of this thread to "Afrika cuff title documents"?
I would like to see others posted here.
Paddy: Thanks for posting yours. Is it for a Heer para? Do you have any other variations to show?

WOW! This one is truly a stunner! I have been wondering for quite some time what the tabs would look like in color. This set is amazing.
