The person who owned those wings most likely was a flight crew member and worked as a radio operator, aerial gunner or other position on the aircraft. The star above the emblem of the United States coat of arms means that the person had served for at least 5 years and 1,500 flight hours.<br /><br />Thank you for your question!Sarah Laniganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02182569788084130668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-123210925491656849.post-63074664012479545892011-07-02T22:51:15.033-04:002011-07-02T22:51:15.033-04:00I have a set of wings that I belive are from WWII....I have a set of wings that I belive are from WWII. The emblem looks like the air crew wings, but they have a star above them like the senior pilot wings. They are sterling silver and are pin back. Can you tell me what they are?<br /><br />Pete JohnsonPete Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14224909361886102218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-123210925491656849.post-1068044053030069792011-01-31T08:34:08.212-05:002011-01-31T08:34:08.212-05:00Thank you, Ned!
