There was no Polish military parachute badge before 1941. First was parachute badge (znak spadochronowy) established in UK in Exile in 1941.
But LOPP issued 4 separate parachute badges (sport) for different levels of training. There is a very limited information on those badges besides a few existing pieces and related documents (no archival docs).
First known award documents are dated 1937.
I was fortunate to describe all 4 LOPP parachute badges in my book:
- for tower jumps
- for baloon jumps
- for aircraft jumps
- for parachute instructors (PJI).
