Garth Thompson Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 (edited) Does anyone know the units that used these two pocket badges. Both have the DRAGO PARIS hallmark. Thanks, Garth #1 Edited July 28, 2009 by Garth Thompson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TacHel Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 (edited) #1 Is marked COTAM, this stands for "COmmandement du Transport Aérien Militaire" (Military Air Transport Command). It is the badge of the "Centre Opérationel du Transport Aérien Militaire" (Military Air Transport Operational Center) at air base #107 Villacoublay.

Richard LaTondre Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 #2 They both seem to have similar symbols in common. The globe, the turtles, and the bluebirds. They may be representing the same unit/organization at different periods of time. Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul L Murphy Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Does the second badge have a number on the reverse ? This is often prefixed with G or H and is the registration number of the design with the relevant military approval board. This can be used to check the unit details, as well as the year when it was instituted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are just marked DRAGE PARIS which was used 1956 -1988 if my memory serves me correctly. Garth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
