bschwartz Posted March 24 Share #1001 Posted March 24 Don't think you have anything to worry about with the navigator wing. Looks just fine to me. You can compare it to this one on my website https://www.ww2wings.com/wings/usaaf/navigator/steraafnavigatorset.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't try to use it as a checklist or your bank account will not be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threewood Posted April 12 Share #1005 Posted April 12 Aerial Gunner Wing. This style is not in Maguire's book. Is this one legit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bschwartz Posted April 12 Share #1006 Posted April 12 Yes, it's 100% legit. It's usually referred to as the Bell pattern. Jon's books are amazing and I highly recommend both of the Silver Wings books but if you limit your collecting to only what is in those books you're going to be missing out on a lot of legitimate period wings. This forum is a great resource for finding other authentic patterns from the war. I also will humbly submit that my website http://ww2wings.com may also be a resource you want to take a look at. I created it when I first started collecting because even though I had all the books I knew there was more out there and no printed book can keep up with new finds that come out of the woodwork. Hence the website that now contains items from collections all over the world. Hope you find it useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threewood Posted April 12 Share #1007 Posted April 12 bschwartz, thank you. I'll save that web link for future reference. I'm fairly new to collecting so I am still learning what to look for in regards to patterns and periods. I'll get there with this site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
