Austria Hungary WWI Cap Badge KuKLFT Imperial Royal Aviation Troops

Austro-Hungarian Empire: WW1 Patriotic Cap 
Badge of the Imperial and Royal (KuK) Aviation 
Troops of the Austro-Hungarian Army (KuKLFT).
The Imperial and Royal (KuK) Aviation Troops 
was established in 1893 as a balloon corps.
It was re-organized in 1912 and remained under 
the command of Major Emil Uzelac until the end 
of WW1 in 1918. 
The KuKLFT saw combat action mainly on the 
Eastern Front and Italian Front. Its aircraft were 
either domestically built or imported from 
Germany (main types: Lohner, Albatros, Aviatik, 
Lloyd, Fokker,Hansa-Brandenburg, Knoller, 
Oeffag, Phoenix, Ufag and Etrich Taube).
Notable is that while a total of 5431 aircraft had 
been produced for the KuKLFT during WW1, its 
strength had peaked at only 550 operational 
aircraft, despite having 4 fronts to cover.
A rare badge.
