    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

    Otto Hess?  How do you know it belonged to Otto Hess?  Are there any other documents?  Photos? 

    Nice looking badge.

    It's long Story. It's came together with yours and other stuff in 2001 from a small auction house into the collection of a friend of me.

    He was also the one who sold your silver engraved private purchased badge to a german collector who sold yours into the wide world...

    Regards Seeheld

     

    Your silver badge was sold in the auction without box...

    Here is a scan from your silver piece made by my friend who brought the badge during the auction and the page from the auction catalog from 2001.

    Something new from my collection.


    The MP from navy see pilot Fl.Mt. Heinrich Amen.

    Amen was with I. SFA from January 1917 and received the "Fliegerzulage" from 06.04.1918.

    Two log books of Flugzeugobermatrose Heinrich Bracht. He was sent to the army for pilot training. After successful completion he returned to the navy (I. SFA) for further training. But he died short after on 24th Juli 1917.

    Hey there - it has been a while :)

    My latest aquisition is a nice picture of a  member of the "Marine-Flieger-Abteilung". I like - besides the quality of the photograph - the "modern" look of this young man:

    Nowadays he would be called a "hipster" with his stylish beard and tattoo ...

    Regards

    Hi Jan,

    imperial german navy aviation is not researched very well. There are some books that cover üarts of the navy aviation especially the units located in Flandern and the navy Jasta's.

    But maybe I could help you. I do research on this topic since moere than 10 years.

    Kind regards

    Alex
