	Aircrew Badge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Aircrew Badge is a qualification badge of the United States military that is awarded by all five branches of armed services to personnel who serve as crew members on board military aircraft.
		The badge was similar in design to the Aviator Badge, however, and displayed an emblem denoting enlisted status on its circular shield, or escutcheon, centered between two wings.
		The badge is a variation on the Naval Aviation Observer Badge with the letters AC centered on the badge’s front.

	Austro-Hungarian Army - The Aircrew Badge
		The badge was produced from tombak consisting of a white enameled laurel wreath which bore on the upper edge a decorated shield with the initial "K" on a ground of white enamel and on the lower edge the coloured enameled double arms of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy introduced in 1916.
		The securing of the badge through two pins was rejected as too unpractical and expensive and already by the introduction of the new type of field pilot's badge in September 1917, the aircrew badge was secured by "...two carbine hooks," which were positioned under the initial and coat of arms shield respectively.
		Aircrew badge case were also delivered by the Zimbler firm similar to the cases for the field pilot's badge.

		After the double needle system for the aircrew badge was recognized as too expensive and unpractical, the suggestion of the manufacturer was followed and it was decided to provide the two "Karabinerhafteln" or hooks.
		Feldwebel Leo Koch, who as a Korporal of FliK 22 was awarded the field pilot badge model 1913 on the 8th of July 1916 (which is confirmed by different contemporary photographs) wore a field pilot badge with the double crown, which was secured on the reverse side by a needle.

	Observer Badge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The badge was issued to co-pilots, navigators, and flight support personnel who had received a variation on the training necessary for the standard Pilot's Badge.
		The Observer Badge survived through the Second World War and into the 1950s, at which time the concept of an Observer Badge was phased out in favor of the modern Aircrew Badge and Navigator Badge.
		With the creation of the new USAF Officer Aircrew Badge, however, the Observer Badge was discontinued and declared obsolete, with the exception of the Navy's version of this qualification badge.
