Unidentified Embroidered Wings Naval rating

I picked up these embroidered wing recently as part of a larger lot.

 

They are white thread on navy blue wool.

 

The center circle is a globe or hemisphere with lines of latitude and longitude that I had trouble capturing in a photograph. Navigator perhaps?

 

I haven't been able to identify them, but then again this is outside of my collecting focus.

 

Are they even American? They don't seem to resemble British/commonwealth wings. Civilian?

Looks like a US Navy Aviation Electrician striker which would be worn above a Seaman's hashmarks, rather than between the eagle and chevrons of a Petty Officer.
