Heer Balloon Observer Badge was instituted on July 8, 1944 to recognize the service of officers and men who placed themselves in great danger observing from balloons. Hanging 300-500 feet above the ground in a gas filled balloon, observers made easy targets for Allied pilots. Balloon use declined significantly as the war progressed and the Luftwaffe lost air superiority.

The aircraft that he flew on the raid was nicknamed "The Ruptured Duck" (AAF serial 40-2261). According to Lawson in his book, the plane's unusual name evolved from a minor training accident where the aircraft tail scraped the ground on take-off. Soon after Lawson found someone had written "ruptured duck" in chalk on the fuselage. Inspired, he had a crewman create the now-famous caricature of Donald Duck with crutches and pilots headphones.
