Item Description
Original Item. Only One Available. The Polish Air Force can trace its origins to the second half of 1917 and was officially established in the months following the end of World War I in 1918. During the invasion of Poland by Germany in 1939, 70% of its aircraft were destroyed. Most pilots, after the Soviet invasion of Poland on 17 September, escaped via Romania and Hungary to continue fighting throughout World War II in allied air forces, first in France, then in Britain, and later also the Soviet Union.
This is a lovely miniature Polish pilot’s wing, likely meant for wear on a shirt as a lapel pin. The wings retain their brass backing, and they measure ½ x 1”.
A great set, ready for further research and display.
