nbolinger Posted March 18, 2014 Share #1 Posted March 18, 2014 Picked this cool set of wings up along with several others, might have to start collecting wings again! Been working on these for a while, never seen a set before, strange makers mark, cant make it out PHELPO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pconrad02 Posted March 18, 2014 Share #6 Posted March 18, 2014 Actually I think the R is for "radio" :-) nice ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliffP Posted March 18, 2014 Share #7 Posted March 18, 2014 I agree with Paul that the "R" is probably for "Radio." Never the less, congratulations not only for the wings but for not giving up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbolinger Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share #8 Posted March 18, 2014 Radio makes sence i dont know why i had recon in my head. I cant make out the maker on the wings? Thanks for the positive comments! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mghcal Posted March 18, 2014 Share #9 Posted March 18, 2014 Wow that's a cool looking wing! Congrats. Can't wait to see what the others are too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBMflyer Posted March 18, 2014 Share #10 Posted March 18, 2014 Couldn't the 'R' stand for Radar? I would think an un-official wing worn by a nightfighter Radar Observer? Just my 2 cents, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ram957 Posted March 18, 2014 Share #11 Posted March 18, 2014 My guess is Radio Operator..Field made.....The hallmark could be Phelps..I think Phelps-Dodge made wings during WWII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Cooper Posted March 19, 2014 Share #12 Posted March 19, 2014 Couldn't the 'R' stand for Radar? I would think an un-official wing worn by a nightfighter Radar Observer? Just my 2 cents, Mark I like this... If I recall they were called Micky Men..? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NGCoastArtillery41 Posted March 19, 2014 Share #13 Posted March 19, 2014 My guess is that it stands for radio as well... Could have been worn by a radio operator in a Field Artillery observation aircraft... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
