Honorary Title "Distinguished Pilot".
Here is the latest addition to my Bulgarian collection, the Honorary Title "Distinguished Pilot" (Почетно Звание "Заслужил Летец"). Founded 18th January 1979 for distinguished contribution and long service to the aviation of the People's Republic Of Bulgaria. During the 8 years this title was awarded only 28 Pilots of the Bulgarian Air Force received it. Recipients include: General Kiril Aleksandrov Kirilov, Reserve Brigadier-General Pilot-Cosmonaut Double Hero Aleksandr Panajotov Aleksandrov (although I can't find a picture of him wearing it) and Major-General Ivan Mаrkov Andreev on 4th October 1982 (Pictured wearing the award on his right side).
This award pictured may be a little "tired" but is only showing good honest wear caused by a "Distinguished Pilot" having it pinned onto his chest for years. Because of the wear and tear to the award due to the fact that it wasn't unawarded and never saw the day of light (which are more numerous than awarded ones), I got a very good deal on this rare high title. |
