U.S. Army Air Forces Pilot Wings Insignia - Historical Aviation Badge #3835606 (License: Personal Use)

This is a classic U.S. Army Air Forces (USAAF) pilot wings insignia, worn by qualified military aviators during World War II and the early Cold War era. The design consists of stylized gold-colored wings extending from a central circular medallion with black enamel background and a white five-pointed star-a symbol derived from the U.S. national insignia. The pin’s construction suggests die-struck metal with enamel fill, typical of mid-20th-century military badges.
