Splendid Fliegerbluse, Todd,
Technically, he shouldn’t be wearing the unqualified aircrew badge, to the left cuff, and an aircrew qualification badge together; the former being replaced by the latter upon qualification.
That said, there is photographic evidence to prove this was occasionally done. Naughty, but certainly not unheard of!
All the best,
Rob.

Rob, thanks so much for the pointer about the regulations. I'm not on top of Luftwaffe regs to the extent I am on Heer. So, you mean to tell me I could have saved all that money I spent on the ROAG? Our boy might have just worn something like the Sportabzeichen in those loops... of which I already have several examples.
I'm kidding. I'll use any excuse to buy a nice badge.

Sport badge, wound badge… afraid so!
I’m sure you’ll find something else to put that lovely gunner’s badge on though, Todd!
As I say, there were aircrew who either ignored or, perhaps, weren’t even aware of the regulation, so it may not be technically right, but it’s not historically wrong either!
Together or apart, a couple of splendid pieces.

Thanks again Rob.
Yes, we who study period photos know all manner of shenanigans went on with respect to uniforms. There were even common trends that our observations have revealed, but I digress.
