German WWII Luftwaffe Air Transport/Glider Squadron Flying Clasp-This is a nice example in bronze. The finish remains intact. This badge has very strong details giving this a great look. This has a single rivet holding the eagle in place. The eagle is holding the swastika, and the silver color complements the toned bronze. This badge has great details. The two holes are in place on each wing. The pin setup functions as intended. A desirable badge.
History: The Transport and Glider Squadron Operational Flying Clasp was introduced by Göring in November of ‘41, as the fourth clasp in a series of eight that were instituted at different points throughout the war to recognize the increasing number of operational flights achieved by specialized Luftwaffe personnel. All eight of the clasps were awarded in three grades, Bronze for twenty operational flights, Silver for sixty operational flights, and Gold for one hundred ten operational flights.
