demir Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 (edited) Hello, A friend of mine has this painting and we are wondering about the identity of the pilot. Somebody suggested that he might be Oberleutnant Paul Leim. I would like to have your opinion please. Thanks Demir Edited December 7, 2016 by demir arrange pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaba1914 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Leim never received the saxon orders displayed on this bar. The man on this painting is a saxon citizen. Kind regards Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dedehansen Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Hi Demir, why do you think that this guy is a pilot, he is wearing an imperial german observer badge. Kind regards Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deruelle Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Hi, I think that this officer is Leutnant d. R Kurt Bauer. The only problem is that I have no idea about its Ottoman medals. But his face appears on the O'Connor's book about Kingdom of Saxony. And it seems very similar to my opinion. Christophe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
