Major James E. Fitzmaurice was in Great Britain's Royal Flying Corps during WWI, and later, on April 12-13, 1928, he was a crew member of the Bremen on the first transatlantic aircraft flight from east to west. On May 2, 1928, the U.S. Congress authorized President Calvin Coolidge to confer the United States Distinguished Flying Cross on the flyers in recognition of their achievement. This badge was most likely from that celebration.
