Jack's Son Posted February 7, 2012 Share #2 Posted February 7, 2012 National Association of Air Force Woman. http://www.nasm.si.edu/collections/artifac...id=A19951508000 This organization was best known for being almost entirely made up of former WASP. I don't know about it today, only its relationship to the WASP in the past. The supplied link will be of benefit to readers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manayunkman Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share #4 Posted February 7, 2012 In answer to your first question; It is post WWII. Always a pleasure to hear from you JS. Thanks for the info. I saw one on a dealers site for 85.00. Is that a crazy price or in the ball park ? M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awmartin Posted February 7, 2012 Share #5 Posted February 7, 2012 $85 seems a bit high. From the ones that I've seen, they sell from $30-$40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that a crazy price or in the ball park ? M I am not sure that the wing has any direct relationship at all to the WASPs. I believe that the National Association for Air Force Women was similar to a fraternal organization, something that wives and retired USAF personnel joined. Perhaps some WASPs joined as well, but any direct link to the WASPs and these specific wings would be tenuous at best. These things are fairly common and frankly, 85$ seems steep. I see them all the time on ebay, flea markets, etc. With a bit of patience, you should be able to get a pair for 40-50$ with out much problem. Just my 2cents.

Patrick Patrick I'll take your 2 cents and ad 9.98 to make 10.00 and that is what I paid for the above wing. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
