pconrad02 Posted May 2, 2008 All, A friend of mine picked up a bunch of CPT items the other day, included was this beautiful wing: The stuff came from the Grandson of a gentleman who ran Shaw Aviation during WWII out of Fort Wayne, IN. The obvious answer is that this wing is a Shaw Aviation wing, BUT does anyone know if they ran a CPT school, and if this would be a flight instructor wing? The detailing on this wing is GREAT, it is a pin back, unmarked. Any help would be appreciated!

pfrost Posted May 2, 2008 HI Paul, Here is a very good summary of the civilian contract pilot training schools during WW!! http://www.airforcebase.net/aaf/cfs_list.html I did a very brief look through and didnt see Shaw Aviation, but I may have missed. As for the wing, it could be a Shaw Aviation wing. I also checked through Phil Martin's book on commercial airline wings and didnt see a similar example, but I may have missed something.
