Observer Badge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Observer Badge is a military badge of the United States military which dates to the First World War. 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-Observer Badge. The United States Navy still maintains an "Observer Badge" as such, which is issued to flight mission specialists and in both the Navy and Marine Corps. The Air Force issues its Navigator-Observer Badge to NASA mission specialists in the Air Force.
