I would suggest he is an Air OP pilot (being an artilleryman AND a pilot, what else could he be?) - don't know if the badge has to do with that, but Darrel Knight, an author who lives in town, is doing a book on the subject. Unless Dave or someone else has a different (better) answer, I can check with him.
