Thank you Ian,
No entries at the reverse, it is a plain cover. Because these Ausweis were the only document allowed to be bear in combat (no info on units or aerodromes), it is exciting to me, to think that he had it in his pocket while dispatching a Spitfire during the Battle of Britain. (Doc is dated Feb.1940 and is very weary, so saw much combat :-).
Find enclosed a Signal page of 1942; the translation would be: 'What a pilot must take with him' showing an Ausweis like mine.
Best regards
Francisco
