WWI One Star General Emb Sterling by Weingarten Gallery
Item Number: P-1358Many of the French Pilots wore birds on their uniforms, two of the most popular designs were either an eagle or a Stork. This stork is rather rare in design in that it has its head more up than most. Also this is a rather small one at 1 1/2 inches wide. A picture of this wing can be found in French Military Aeronautical Branch Badges up to 1918 By Philippe Bartlett on pages351 Figure 3. Different stork designs were used by all Pilots in Combat Group 12. All squadrons in that combat group were required to use a stork as part of their insignia
