Got da Penny

Here is a wing that i can't ID, this came in a group lot of Military insignia with many OLD pieces that were good and correct for ww2 period.

I more than got my $$ back out of selling the "leftovers" that i didnt need from this group.

 

I thought i read somewhere that the original wings had a solder hinge to base application??. and the pin opens up at 90 Degress only. there is no maker mark.

 

Thanks, Carey

The wing looks like somw of the modern made wings I have seen except with a blue star vs. 8th, 9th,... AF insignia. It could also be a sweetheart wing... see below to compare.

Could it be a civilian contract school, the guys who did the early training for pilots? Just my two cents, Mark.
