The Glider Pilot Badge
The Glider Pilot Badge
 
The Glider Pilot Badge is among the rarest of all the qualification badges of the Luftwaffe of the Third Reich.  The information about this badge is scarce. The infrequent and often contradictory information in the available publications and the very low number of original examples does not make it very easy for the collector to distinguish between the contemporary originals and copies. This book provides the interested collector with an overview about the history of this rare badge and serves as a collector's guideline and a must-have for the serious collector of the Glider Pilot Badge.  The very first book about this exceptionally rare badge and the brave men who earned it. The Glider Pilot Badge is an exhaustive study that includes not only the known variants of this award, but also the history, documents and cases.  This badge was awarded to some of the bravest men of the Second World War. Hard bound, linen cover with a glossy dust jacket.
