Need Help With WWII Uniform Wings
Need Help With WWII Uniform Wings
I’m hoping for some help tracking down the significance of the wings in the attached picture. My grandfather served in WWII and these wings we on his uniform. Does anyone know anything about them, I can’t find anything online. The chair actually moves.
Re: Need Help With WWII Uniform Wings
These are completely novelty wings, nothing official or authorized for wear.... especially on the official cl. A uniform....But we're popular with ex flyers after they no longer could fly and had to "fly a desk".... The star would mean Senior pilot, so probably a WW 1 or 1920/30s who served and was too old (or invalid) to fly but still able to serve.
Would help to see the reverse....pin type, markings, etc. to really date these.... Could date Korea or even Vietnam, but these do appear WW2 vintage.

Ps....as novelty wings these are quite uncommon and collectible.

Yes, typical “antique” or old desk chair. Kind of cute
