Had a look at that adress - they really make you such a uniform!

 

But I like most the "Ausgeh-Uniform" (uniform for representation).

Here's a pic from the great movie "Der Blaue Max".

There is that badge again, and I think, it might be just the Flieger-Abzeichen (aviator's badge) then,

when it doesn't have that additional sign in the center?

Well, they certainly say they can and I'm tempted.

 

The badge turns out to be a basic Aviator's Badge, like the pilot's Wings over the pocket in WWII.

I went to this site to see if I could get a better view on a pilots photo. Turns out, they have a whole section on awards, etc. The basic badge shape was pretty much constant, and then a pilot/observer or gunner symbol filled the inside of the wreath.

The link above has a phenominal collection of aviation photos and art from WWI. Don't miss it. All the photos on the coffee mugs in the store were gleaned here.

Yes, I knew the Early Aviator site. Also google for: Vintage Aviator (I forgot the correct adress).

Great site. And easy to find. It's http://thevintageaviator.co.nz. I got it on the first try. Found the following photo...a variation on my favorite poster.

Good grief - the only tree for miles. He must have had some dog's genes in him.

 

[LMAO!] I wonder if that pilot ever lived down the ridicule in the mess?
