[vietvet7071]

I picked these up yesterday from my local antique store/picker.They are all U.S. Air Force Astronaut and Flight Surgeon wings. All are clutch back and sterling. All are full size except the last three in the right column, which are 2 inch.

The wings in the left column:

1) Hallmarked Vanguard 1V in center of shield. The astronaut device is applied to shield.

2) Hallmarked Vanguard 1V, top of right wing. The astronaut device is applied to shield.

3) Hallmarked G-22. Astronaut device applied to shield.

 

Both wings in center column are Hallmarked Sterling Krew.

 

Wings in right column:

1) Hallmarked Sterling, G-22

2) Hallmarked Sterling, with name and city for Meyer, 22 over M in small shield.

3) Hallmarked Sterling, with just the small shield with 22 over M.

4) Same as #3.

Question- Anyone know when USAF approved the Flight Surgeon wings and the Astronaut ones?

[ww2relichunter]

the flight surgeon wings where first issued in ww2 !! and the astronaut ones where first issued in may 17th 1983 so that is a badge that has not been around for as many years !!

Thank you but I should have been more clear on the Flight Surgeon wings, the modern looking ones US Air Force and not Army Air Forces. While anyone is at it how about the dates for the Battle Management and Remote pilot wings?
