Dirigible Pilot Badge


The Dirigible Pilot Badge is a military decoration of the United States Navy which was issued to those service members who have received training and qualification as hot air balloon pilots. The badge was first created in the 1930s during which time the Navy was experimenting with lighter than air craft, verses the heavier than air conventional planes.

The Dirigible Pilot Badge was issued well into the 1970s, with occasional awards, on a case by case basis, to the end of the 20th century. In the modern Navy, however, the Dirigible Pilot Badge is considered obsolete, but still may be found on various insignia and badge charts promulgated through U.S. Navy instructions and publications.

The Dirigible Pilot Badge appears as a “half wing” version of the Naval Aviator Badge. Its design was based on early versions of the Observer Badge, used in the Army Air Corps.
