Proud Kraut Posted October 24, 2018 Share #1 Posted October 24, 2018 The one-on-one translation for this document's title would probably be: Air Force Balloonist License. Holder was an Army Oberleutnant (Artillery, Forward Observer). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwb123 Posted October 25, 2018 Share #2 Posted October 25, 2018 Lars, That begs the question... did the Luftwaffe ever actually use balloon pilots and manned balloons. That would seem to be very dangerous in WWII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would seem to be very dangerous in WWII. Gil, at least the Army (Artillery) used manned balloons (for sure a very danger job). A balloon observer's badge does exist as well. It was awarded to these guys. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balloon_Observer%27s_Badge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
