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