Description

Luftwaffe Reconnaissance Clasp

The Reconnaissance Clasp belonged to a series of aviation clasps (Frontflugspange) initially established in early 1941 to honor aircrew members who had undertaken a significant number of operational sorties. A bronze clasp was conferred after 20 missions, silver after 60, and gold after 110. In the subsequent year, an additional embellishment featuring a gold star surrounded by laurel leaves was introduced to acknowledge higher counts of completed operational flights—250, 300, 400, or 500, depending on the branch of service. Around mid-1944, this embellishment underwent a revision, now incorporating a boxed numeral denoting increments of 100, ranging from 200 to 2000. This change reflected the escalating demands placed on Luftwaffe aircrew during that period.
