jaba1914 Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 In the year 2013 we have any anniversaries. 200 years iron cross is one of this. Less known is the 100 anniversary of the foudation of the first navy unit. All starts with the "Allerhöchste Kabinettsordre" from 3rd May 1913. Where the german emperor order the creation of two units: 1. Marine-Luftschiffabteilung located at Johannesthal / Berlin 2. Marine-Fliegerabteilung located at Puzig near Danzig. I ask you all to post everything related to the german navy aviation from 1913 to 1920. Everything like badges, documents, paper, medal / ribbon bars, uniform and parts of this. Kind regards Alex
Chris Boonzaier Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Hmmm, I had something until I saw it was NAVY aviation... :-)
jaba1914 Posted January 6, 2013 Author Posted January 6, 2013 (edited) I start this thread with a picture of an early navy airplane. It is a Taube in the navy version. This picture was taken 1913 at Puzig and show the later Oberflugmeister Erich Kästner (on the top of the a/c). Edited January 6, 2013 by jaba1914
jaba1914 Posted January 6, 2013 Author Posted January 6, 2013 (edited) It was on 31 May 1913 when the first badge for navy pilots was introduced. At this time not specified as see or land plane badge. Shaper badge, bronce gilded. Edited January 7, 2013 by jaba1914
jaba1914 Posted January 7, 2013 Author Posted January 7, 2013 (edited) Meybauer, silver gilded solid see pilot badge. Edited January 7, 2013 by jaba1914
jaba1914 Posted January 7, 2013 Author Posted January 7, 2013 Come on guys help me to keep this thread alive. Look on your collection, i`'m sure you have something related to the german naval aviation, maybe a picture, a paper, document or something else. Kind regards Alex
Chris Boonzaier Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Come on guys help me to keep this thread alive. Look on your collection, i`'m sure you have something related to the german naval aviation, maybe a picture, a paper, document or something else. Kind regards Alex Ha ha.... Alex... you old optimist! I WISH I had a fundus of German Naval aviation... methinks it is one of those areas where you seldom have something just laying about ;-) But I do like the badges you have posted!!
Claudius Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Hey...look what I found just laying about! (Sorry Chris -I couldn't resist) This is a photo of Naval Lieutenant Gunter G. Plüschow in his Heinkel HD-24. The "TSINGTAU" on the fuselage is a nod to his time as a lone German aviator at the Siege of Tsingtau. This photo is from after the war when he was working in South America.
jaba1914 Posted January 8, 2013 Author Posted January 8, 2013 Bronce gilded, hollow plated, cut out crown.
jaba1914 Posted January 9, 2013 Author Posted January 9, 2013 Nice picture. It match twice to your collection ;-) Regards Alex
jaba1914 Posted January 9, 2013 Author Posted January 9, 2013 On 28 Mai 1915, 2 years after the navy pilot badge, the observer badge was introduced. Bronce gilded Schaper observer badge.
jaba1914 Posted January 10, 2013 Author Posted January 10, 2013 It seems noone is interested in navy aviation. Regards Alex
Paul C Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 I don't think it is a question of members being interested in German Naval Aviation. I think it is more a question of artifacts from German Naval Aviation are so very rare. I wish I had something to contribute. Jaba1914, the badges you posted are beautiful and they are my favorite German flight badge. I expecially like the Naval Observe badge with the large eagle on it. Would you post a picture of one? Thanks for starting this thread.

jaba1914 Posted January 10, 2013 Author Posted January 10, 2013 Everything is welcome not only badges. Pictures, paper, documents, etc. Regards Alex
jaba1914 Posted January 10, 2013 Author Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) In the same year like the observer badge, the land plane pilot badge was introduce. Much less awarded that the see plane pilot badge. Edited January 10, 2013 by jaba1914

Ferg1 Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 Another Naval item. Marine luftschiffer armelzeichen and related jacket 'bling' . Jacket was all but mothed out .I just got the bits after it was stripped ! Ferg
Ferg1 Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 Some more , Hugo Schaper made marine land pilot badge with three piece conversion fitment. Gilded bronze.
jaba1914 Posted January 12, 2013 Author Posted January 12, 2013 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. Regards Alex
Ferg1 Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 reverse of landflieger abzeichen. Seems to have a Hanson mini screw disc on top followed by a Meybauer 'cross' plate then finally a custom made backplate . Covers most makers !! Ferg
