Instructor Or Home Front Uniform?

Okay, this one has me stumped.

 

It is a tropical wool four pocket officers style jacket.

 

The buttons look civilian the way they are domed.

 

The enameled wings are worn almost like rank on the epaulettes.

 

Is it just a patriotic piece, or instructor, air warning, etc....?

 

Thanks.

Maybe something associated with the Civil Air Patrol pre 1947?

 

Is there a label in it?

 

Any sign of ever having a wing applied?

 

The jacket doesn’t look like an officer?

 

It sure is interesting.

John Cook aka Cookieman, who knows more about Pilot Training programs / CPT thinks it could be one of the many flight schools during WWII.
