Thanks in advance,

It would appear that it's not the standard RBAF pilot's badge, but I have only one source to go on, David Littlejohn's Foreign Legions of the Third Reich, Volume 4. The pilot's badge was in the form of an eagle surmounted by a crown. Overall shape, including the small shield at the bottom, of the badge is correct for the Bulgarian Transport Pilot's, Observer's, or Balloon Pilot's badge. Of the three, I would guess the observer's version for Rödel.
