Issued to enlisted men as well as officers and non-commissioned
officers, the silver Prussian Pilot's Badge was normally presented to a pilot after he'd gained experience in
aerial combat. The front of the badge depicts an early monoplane flying over a village near a mountain range,
surrounded by wreaths of laurel and oak leaves joined together at the base with a ribbon bow. The laurel leaves
on the left symbolize victory while the oak leaves on the right symbolize strength. At the top of the badge is
an Imperial Prussian crown representing a united Germany.
