Original Items: Only One Lot of 2 Available. This is a fantastic pair of WWII era Aviator wings as worn by the Pilots and Navigators aboard the various types of aircraft during and after the war. Both are pinback and marked STERLING.

The wings include:

- US Army Air Forces Pilot “Wings”: During World War II, with the rise of the Army Air Forces, a second series of aviator badges were issued to include a design that has survived to the modern day. The Pilot Badge was issued in three degrees, including Pilot, Senior Pilot, and Command Pilot. A polished silver colored version of these badges is currently used as the United States Air Force Pilot Badges. This example is for a Pilot and is stamped STERLING with a functional pinback. This style is attributed to Bell.

- US Army Air Forces Navigator Wings field-made by attaching Navigator globe onto Observer wings. Looking at the back, the horizontal lines that denote observer wings can still be seen. This is a fantastic field-altered set and was likely done when an observer finished training as a navigator. Marked STERLING on the back. This style is attributed to Levelle.

A great lot, ready for display.
