There were many flight clubs/unions in those days and practically all had their own wing
type insignia, especially before the institution of the Deutscher Luftsport-Verband in 1933.
This is obvious when one has a look in the various periodicals for these clubs/unions.
The photograph is anyway early, as he wears the brown shoulder-straps. Maybe due to
his interests he later will have been a member from the Flieger-HJ.

Nice :good: I would have invented some obscure unit, described it as the only one known, and sold the photo for $500.- because thats just how business is done today.

Your knowledge is encyclopedic, Cemifor.

Thanks for the nice words, Heinrich.
But unfortunately it is not. But I'm sometimes good to find the information.

I got information about this badge in an email from Reinhard Tieste. His "tinnie number" is: Berlin 34-03.
