JBFloyd Posted September 5, 2015 Share #1 Posted September 5, 2015 My limited sources on wings turn up nothing for this one. Can anyone give me the proper identification, please? It's clutch-back and marked "V-21" on the otherwise flat back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplecanopy Posted September 5, 2015 Share #2 Posted September 5, 2015 The V-21 is the hallmark for Vanguard. Not sure of the rating, obviously Naval medical officer. Perhaps Flight Surgeon. My guess on the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Conway Posted September 6, 2015 Share #3 Posted September 6, 2015 I'm guessing it's a foreign naval wing made by the U.S. insignia company Jeff but I don't have anything to back that up other then I haven't been able to identify it as U.S..

JBFloyd Posted September 6, 2015 Author Share #4 Posted September 6, 2015 Thanks to Triplecanopy and John, The central device certainly doesn't match any US Navy device, so it may well be foreign. Vangaurd made loads of very derivative insignia for Latin American countries and this may be one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Conway Posted September 8, 2015 Share #5 Posted September 8, 2015 From a good source I stand corrected - U.S.Public Health Service Flight Surgeon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBFloyd Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share #6 Posted September 8, 2015 Thanks again, John. Since the USPHS provides medical personnel for the Coast Guard, I guess it follows that they would have flight surgeons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefighter Posted September 12, 2015 Share #7 Posted September 12, 2015 I was thinking USPHS too but I can not find any reference on Flight Surgeon wings for the USPHS. They could be foreign.A lot of U.S. makers make insignia for other countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
