Dear Fliegertruppe,
Thank you so much for your information. For the past few days I've been trying to find out more about the German aviators who were born of noblity either Graf,Freiherr,or none. I trying to find whether these airmen were the holders of the Prussian Johannisterorden or the Catholic Order of Malta. These two orders resembled the Pour le Merite were also worn at the neck. I've been having "neck order fever" for a long time now and it won't go away!
The "Blue Max" was given to only 78 junior ranking officer airman. I labored so hard to find German airmen of WWI who won a high neck order other than the Pour le Merite. Anyway thanks for the military record of this aviator of noble birth. Its pretty interesting.
Sincerely,
Edward
