With that raised "O" superimposed on the Civil Air Patrol logo, I believe the badge represents an Observer, rather than Pilot rating.

That makes sense and I stand corrected.  I looked on Bob's wing website (ww2wings.com) but he doesn't have any of this style posted there.  I don't know if this is a post WWII version as the earlier ones had eagles and or enameled areas.

This is the prior version of the CAP Observer Wing, post WWII. They were replaced in the 1977 with the current version. I've seen a few of the old I've posted an image of the CAP Observer Wings evolution starting from top with WWII; middle post WWII 1948ish-1977; bottom current wings.

 

I'm also attaching a photo of the relatively new Aircrew wings. I was working towards mission observer status, but with work and such never quite finished the syllabus.

A rather no-nonsense appearing WWII era image of a CAP Observer with visible half-wing upon her chest…IMG_7082.jpeg.4328ee224dbc1c8fe8c680866e9fa34a.jpeg
