jaba1914 Posted December 20, 2015 Author Posted December 20, 2015 (edited) Here a picture of the later navy ace Flugmaat Albin Buhl (6 victories) taken at SFS Windau on the day he got the IC 2. He served with SFS List, SFS Windau, SFS Flandern I, Seefrontstaffel , Marine-Jagd-Staffel IV. Edited December 20, 2015 by jaba1914
David M Posted December 20, 2015 Posted December 20, 2015 That's a great photo. I 'd wish I had one of my ggrandfathers cousin. He was a mere observer, but got an EK1. I wonder why.. Did Buhl also get an EK1?
jaba1914 Posted December 20, 2015 Author Posted December 20, 2015 (edited) I don't have the date or a notice but I'm sure that he got it. He was one of few navy aces. Kind Regards Alex Edited December 20, 2015 by jaba1914

jaba1914 Posted January 8, 2016 Author Posted January 8, 2016 This is a nice picture of an unknown SFS taken 1919/20 before the disbanding.
Hagrid Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) Here we have the picture of one H. Backhausen from Lehe. I´m not so sure what badge he´s wearing - first I thought it was an airgunners badge... Regards Hagrid And another Picture from the net: Seefliegerstation List, the pilots name is Karl Klussmann and he´should be the man on the left. (The guy doesn´t look like it, though. Maybe the information is not true - I would think of him as one of the men in leather ...) Note how big the naval airplanes were! Regards Hagrid Edited January 11, 2016 by Hagrid
jaba1914 Posted January 13, 2016 Author Posted January 13, 2016 Vary nice pictures, especially the one from SFS List. Maybe he wasn't a pilot when the picture was taken. I don't have a Klussmann on my data. Kind regards Alex
jaba1914 Posted January 21, 2016 Author Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) Another aquisition from the last days is this text book square punch see pilot badge. It is the silver gilded version. Although the square stemp is missing it is a nice piece of this maker without any modifications as seen on many of this pieces. This one cames from the estate of Flugzeugmatrose Riecker (II. SFA), awarded on 25.03.1916 Regards Alex Edited January 21, 2016 by jaba1914
jaba1914 Posted April 29, 2016 Author Posted April 29, 2016 Impression from SFS Windau 1918. Friedrichhafen FF 33e # 824
jaba1914 Posted May 31, 2016 Author Posted May 31, 2016 (edited) It is quit here. This unique group of Flugmechanikerobermaat August Remy the mechanic of "Wölfchen" from SMH Wolf arrived me. He was together with Flugmeister d. S. I Paul Fabeck (P) und Vizeflugmeister d.R. Alexander Stein (B) the flying personal onbord of SMH Wolf. SMH Wolf was the world wide first ship that by default was equipped with an airplane. document for EK1 for achievment onbord SMH Wolf pictures with Remy Kind regards Alex Edited May 31, 2016 by jaba1914
Claudius Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 The SMH Wolf was quite the surface Raider. She roamed out mid-war, laying mines and capturing ships before returning in 1918 with her seized goods. The onboard Friedrichshafen two-seater really contributed to her success and Remy was part of that success. Thanks for showing it here!
jaba1914 Posted June 1, 2016 Author Posted June 1, 2016 I'm glad that you guys appreciate this group like me. It is indeed a historical goup even Remy was "oly" a mehanic. I'm working on a public spay of thi group with some more pieces related to SMH Wolf. I hope you guay keepthis thread live. Go on showing your treasures from imeperial german aviation. Kind regards Alex
jaba1914 Posted July 15, 2016 Author Posted July 15, 2016 A couple of days ago I got a small group of pictures from the german navy air service includes this one. This is a old postcard (not a modern reproduction) showing an see pilot and navy observer badge from Schaper. Great picture. Kind regards Alex
Hagrid Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 "Caught in the net" - a picture of some naval flyers during their Fokker-Training, the guys with the badges are Hassemüller and Ditzuleit Regards Hagrid
Soderbaum Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 Nice and interesting photo Hagrid ! The photo might have been taken at the Fokker Schule Putzig which was establish in mid Oct 1916. However at this stage the Fokker E was no longer usable as an front line line aircraft. Gunnar
Hagrid Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 (edited) Hi Gunnar! The picture is clipped from an album and titled "1. Fokkertraining at Sandhofen" (thats near Mannheim) - should be January 1916. I misread one name, though: From the left are depicted: Wirth, Hauptmann (died), Arns, Mayer, Haggenmüller, Schnell and Ditzuleit, naval landplane flyers alltogether. There was another picture of the same bunch... Regards Hagrid Edited August 2, 2016 by Hagrid

Claudius Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 Is this supposed to be a text book "square-punch" version? hmmmm, (see post 211) Look to compare to other known square MM examples.
jaba1914 Posted April 22, 2017 Author Posted April 22, 2017 Congratulation to this awesome badge. Like I wrote you, a textbook "square-punch" version in gilded bronce. Kind regards Alex
jaba1914 Posted April 22, 2017 Author Posted April 22, 2017 (edited) You will find a similar badge to your on post 96. Kind regards Alex Edited April 22, 2017 by jaba1914

seeheld Posted May 21, 2017 Posted May 21, 2017 I was lucky last week and I got the awarded Seeflieger Badge from Otto Hess. It is made from Bronze by H. Schaper. It's looks like he was wearing this badge a long time and he has polished it very often. Regards Seeheld
