firefighter Posted May 27, 2016 Share #27 Posted May 27, 2016 WOW!!! Those are some gorgeous wings. I like the picture of the Flight Surgeon and the placement of his 'U.S.' insignia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would consider your post-war Augustine C. Frank hallmarked Flight Nurse badge a more rare and tougher wing to find than many WWII era Flight Nurse wings. The early transitional full size Flight Surgeon badges with "Aug. C. Frank Co." hallmarks are also a difficult example to find. Note how this one-piece "Frank" hallmarked Chief Flight Surgeon badge used a star & wreath, instead of a smaller star & banner, to denote "Chief" rating. Like the Flight Nurse example Cookieman posted above, this badge also features horizontal lines on the shield.

I saw this post and I wasn’t looking for anyone with a set of this Chief Flight Surgeon wings made by Augustine C. Frank Co. who may be willing to sell them to me. I appreciate the help and I am always looking for rare/unique/unusual flight surgeon wings for my collection/display. cheers, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
