GeneralLucas Posted March 18, 2012 Share #1 Posted March 18, 2012 I wanted to share with the Forum the 99 wings that I had obtained many years ago witha pair of WASP wings that came out of an estate sale in Dallas. These wings have the maker as Plano Pin Company. Plano is a suberb of Dallas, Texas. The WASP wings are converted wings with an appiled diamond. Gen.

GeneralLucas Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share #3 Posted March 22, 2012 As a matter of interest, what's the significance of "99" in this context? The 99s were organization of women aviators founded in 1929 and many WASP pilots became a member. One of the most notable WASP pilots was Jacqueline Cochran who served as President of the 99s from 1941 until 1943. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
