Question for the wing guru's. Which manufacturer made the best looking wings in your opinion? And above all, besides Jon Maguire's books, which website/book could you use to determine originality?

 

So far, my eyes have fallen on these wings. Looking to do a small display and wanted add some pilot wings to it.

 

1. Balfour

2. Amcraft

3. Josten

4. Gemsco

5. SE.EBY, Philadelphia

6. N.S. Meyer

 

I probably forgot a few others. But these are the ones I have seen that are maker marked.

 

Many thanks in advance!

I really like the Juarez pattern / Lampl wings.

As far as determining original wings, this web site and ww2wings (Bob Schwartz' site) are fine examples to read through.

I would include Beverlycraft.  Elegant. Old Hollywood style...
