Description
Original WWII US Army Air Forces Pilot Wings
Presented here is an authentic set of WWII US Army Air Forces pilot wings, a highly recognizable emblem of American airmen during the Second World War. These wings were worn proudly on the uniforms of pilots who served in the Army Air Forces before the establishment of the U.S. Air Force in 1947.
The design features the classic spread-wing eagle motif with a central shield, struck in silver-toned metal, symbolizing strength, courage, and the authority of a qualified pilot. Measuring regulation size, these wings would have been pinned above the left breast pocket of the service dress or flight uniform.
This original example shows appropriate age and patina, reflecting its wartime history and authenticity. Highly sought after by collectors of military insignia and WWII memorabilia, these wings represent both aviation heritage and the legacy of those who flew in combat.
