Hi Mike,
Nothing to do with airforce ... the "20e Escadron Leger du Levant" is a french period cavalry unit raised after 1927 in Lebanon with Alawites. Be careful, theater made badges are very faked.. I hope it helps... Best regards .. Herve |

Hi Herve, thank you very much for the information. Is it possible they would have converted to armour? I'll photograph the back later and thanks again Mike

Hi Mike,
As far as I remember, this unit was only cavalry. But there were various armoured cars and tanks units in Lebanon and Syria in 1920/40. In french, a good article in Militaria magazine n°61 (august 1990) Best regards .. Herve |
