            You are the best!

            Many thanks for that link which indicates:

            This is the second pattern badge of the Latvian Aero Club, a non-military orginization to which many pilots belonged to prior to the war. It is pictured on the pocket. The three stars are a traditional symbol and appear in other Latvian insignia.

            Captain Janis Rucels, photographed probably during the war based on his ribbons, is wearing the many badges that make up a Latvian pilot. There is much disinformation that is being corrected as better references are more publicly available from Latvia. The one badge not pictured here is the Estonian wing to the right of the Air Regiment badge. That can be seen in the Estonian Air Force section
