Austria Hungary WW1 Cap Badge KuKLFT Imperial Royal Aviation Troops

Austro-Hungarian Empire: Patriotic WW1 
Cap Badge of the Imperial and Royal (KuK) 
Aviation Troops of the Austro-Hungarian 
Army (KuKLFT).
The Imperial and Royal (KuK) Aviation Troops 
was established in 1893 as a balloon corps.
It was re-organized in 1912 and remained 
under the command of Major Emil Uzelac 
until the end of WW1 in 1918. 
The KuKLFT saw combat action mainly on the 
Eastern Front and Italian Front. Its aircraft 
were either domestically built or imported 
from Germany (main types: Lohner, Albatros, 
Aviatik, Lloyd, Fokker,Hansa-Brandenburg, 
Knoller, Oeffag, Phoenix, Ufag and Etrich 
Taube).
Notable is that while a total of 5431 aircraft 
had been produced for the KuKLFT during 
the 4 years of WW1, its strength had peaked 
at only 550 operational aircraft, despite 
having 4 fronts to cover.
A rare badge.
