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. Lucas

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.
