Question regarding flying clasps

[PeterL]

Frinds,

I hope this question isn't of topic. What flying clasp would a Nachtschlacht pilot wear? Schlachtflieger or perhaps any of the Nachtjäger clasps? Or could it be any of the others?

The reson for asking is that I have aquired a Flugzeugführerabzeichen (BSW)with a Feldpostnr scratched on it from 2/NSG7. The name is hard to make out but I think i might be "Lener", almost 100% sure of a 5 letter name ending with ner and Le is 85% certain.

I would like to get all the related insignia for the Flugzeugführerabzeichen and if I can find the pilot also the collar taps and sholderboards matching his rank.

Thank you!

Hmmm. . . well, since he wasn't a fighter pilot (or aerial gunner in Bf-110's) then he wouldn't qualify for the Nachtjaeger clasp. Besides, the Schlachtflieger clasp doesn't differentiate between day or night, so I'd think this is the correct clasp.

Thanks Gene,

Will try to find photos to verify.

This hobby is posion! 5 months ago I had nothing, now i have some and spends at least and hour a day looking for new items!

See if you can find a date too, as the Schlachtflieger clasp wasn't initiated until 12 April 1944. Prior to this date air to ground attack personnel would have the long range day fighter clasp (initiated 13 May 1942).

Thanks again Gene,

Now I lernt something new again, not a wasted day then.

The Feldpostnr I have is L49178 and that was issued 31-dec-43. Will try to find related dates.
