Herman Goring said, "I will sacrifice one entire squadron of my Air Force to capture one pilot, the American, Don Gentile."

The RAF pilot brevet is gorgeous. A GREAT example of a WWII hand embroidered wing. It is a shame that it wasn't padded. The eagle with the "USA" under it is a shoulder title for Americans serving in the RAF as Other Ranks (enlisted). While it is possible that Gentile picked this up while he was in England, he wouldn't have worn it.

Thank you for the info. I have no depth of knowledge on these insignia and more than pleased to be educated here.
