tigerfan Posted October 20, 2015 #1 Posted October 20, 2015 Just acquired this WASPS pin with a small lot of WWII AAF insignia, wings, etc.. I have pictured it next to a common AAF di for size comparison. Although the di was also part of the lot. Does anyone know what this pin was about? Thanks.
cutiger83 Posted October 20, 2015 #3 Posted October 20, 2015 I am not sure about this pin but I don't believe this pin is associated with the Women's Airforce Service Pilots. Their insignia did not have the wasp bug on them. ...Kat
tredhed2 Posted October 21, 2015 #4 Posted October 21, 2015 cutiger83 is on the mark. The WASPs did not have ANY insignia w/ a wasp (insect, flying. stinging), despite many dealers' attempts to the contrary. Some civilian organization (WW II patriotic?) had this made up.
cutiger83 Posted October 21, 2015 #5 Posted October 21, 2015 I wonder if this is some type of a high school pendant pin that had a wasp as their mascot. ....Kat
RustyCanteen Posted October 22, 2015 #6 Posted October 22, 2015 I think Kat is on to something. When I opened this post, my gut reaction was the same; it looks like a school athletic mascot.
firefighter Posted October 22, 2015 #7 Posted October 22, 2015 I too think Kat is right. Could also be a Yacht Club, the pendent shape was used a lot by them.
