About Arnold Barwigovi not a lot of information. He was born 19. 9. 1896 in Vizovice in Moravia, probably in the family of the Sudeten Germans. He graduated from the cadet school and after the beginning of the 1. world war I has been relegated to Feldjägerbataillonu Nr. 25. There was for bravery even as a Fähnrich (officer candidate) awarded the Silver medal for valor. 18. 8. 1915 then promoted to the rank of lieutenant (Leutnant). Even with his tribal regiment it has also obtained the bronze and silver An olympic champion. In January of 1917 volunteered for the air force, where he was trained at the air observer. Here he again manifested his boldness, is decorated in the order of of the Iron crown III. class and as the first air observer is awarded also Leopoldovým order. day 1. in may 1917 he was promoted to the rank of first lieutenant (Oberleutnant).

That are unfortunately the information have been exhausted, perhaps someone will complement the other.

The newspaper Allgemeine Automobil-Zeitung from the years 1918 then about Barwigovi brought about a short article:

"Oberleutnant And. Barwig with a penchant for picking out such a battle years ago, which to the pilot's nerves and his mind put considerable demands. Both on Russian, and later in the Italian war theater, he served as an excellent infantry aviator-observer. highly distinguished himself above all his courage and decisive approach in December 1917, in the management of artillery fire 41. artillery division at Torre Calligo, when boldly led the pilot to the ground floor of the flight to the fire of the enemy batteries.

His victory over the best Italian flier him to ensure permanent remembrance in the annals of aviation troops."
