About This Work

Display Board. WW2 US Army Air Force Wings

Top: United States military aviator badge, specifically a vintage US Army Air Forces / Air Force Pilot Wing Pin (resembling classic WW2-to-post-war design styles featuring a centered shield and detailed feather wings).
Such badges were typically manufactured in standard 3-inch widths by various contracted jewelers and militaria makers, and many vintage sterling silver versions remain sought-after collector's pieces

Middle: U.S. Army Air Forces (USAAF) Command Pilot Badge, featuring the characteristic design introduced during WW2 (around 1941) with a star and laurel wreath surmounting the central shield and wings.

Bottom: U.S. Air Force Senior Flight Surgeon Badge (full size, typically 3 inches wide), distinguished by the single star centered above the shield featuring the Caduceus. The wings with a centered shield and entwined serpent staff (caduceus) signify medical officer qualification in aviation medicine. The single raised star above the shield designates the Senior rating level (while a basic badge has no star, and a Chief rating features a star surrounded by a wreath).
