    Outstanding group Claudio! (But I think you knew I was going to say that.) Great document and photo trail. The ribbon bar is wonderful with all those Turkish awards.

    Thank you for showing it.

    Claudio, I see Falke was awarded the Ehrenbecher in 1917. Do you have details on this action, and who his Flugzeugfuehrer was? I also think it is great to see aviators with this name.

    Hi Vince,

    I don't have the information about the action which led the Ehrenbecher to be awarded to then Obltn Falke, but I can imagine it was because the sabotage mission behind the lines in 1917... see below...

    Ciao,

    Claudio

    His document for the Weimar republic period decoration "deutsche Ehrendenkmünze"...

    Another document attesting the skills of Obltn Falke on the front in Palestina and receiving the approval of the commanding officer to become an instructor...

    Here you can see the name of the commanding officer who signed this paper... (Brigadegeneral Freiherr von Krehs und Kommandeur des XVII. Armeekorps... any info on this high ranking officer?).

    Really great documents, Claudio. I think his pilot was the later Luftwaffe general Felmy. They must have scored at least one confirmed victory to have been awarded the Ehrenbecher.
