Horse's Rear Wings

[Brig]

Can anyone tell me more about these things? Were they just a novelty, or some sort of organization, etc?

Hahaa,nice.Like you stated,probably a "Novelty" type piece,someone's idea of a joke.What's odd is that it seems(to me anyway) to incorporate the "V" for victory into the design.What's the back look like?

only image I have

[Brig]

I should add, these belonged to an airman who was a WWII and Vietnam vet, so the V could be victory, but I would imagine that a very off combination with the horse

Better image, fairly good detail. Anyone know anything about them?

[LuftStalg1]

Well they are high quality. They did not have military veterinarians that late in the century did they? Something about the horse's ars that seems a bit like the chairborne wings though.

I agree, I think it's a goof or maybe for some kind of club. The original owner was in the Army (I believe AAF) in WWII and in the Air Force through Korea. He also became a member of the CAP at some point, I assume upon retiring. Only unit I know he was likely involved with at some point was the USAF Disaster Relief Force

Interesting wings. They look post WW2 design to me.
