John Cooper Posted May 31, 2010 Share #1 Posted May 31, 2010 Happy Memorial Day All! Since I had some extra time today I wanted to catch up on some more new wings I have been lucky to obtain. The first group is a nice little trio of Service Pilot wings from three makers that highlight some of the variety of patterns availalble. (SMILO - LeVelle - Meyer) Enjoy and PLEASE post other patterns you have you in collection! Regards John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul S Posted July 1, 2010 Share #5 Posted July 1, 2010 Here is a variation of an inexpensive unmarked wing. It has a heavy white coating and appears to be unused. There is an interesting "skeleton" pattern on the reverse. Sometimes you find these "white" wings partially or entirely free of the "white" coating. When entirely free of the coating they shine up beautifully; when the coating is partially present, they have an ugly splotchy appearance. Weight is about average at 17-18 g.

5thwingmarty Posted October 16, 2019 Share #14 Posted October 16, 2019 Here is the first diagram and description issued by the army for Service Pilot wings. Note the shape of the S and the lack of horizontal lines behind the S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtnman Posted October 16, 2019 Share #15 Posted October 16, 2019 I'd love to find that wing! Thanks for sharing Marty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5thwingmarty Posted October 16, 2019 Share #16 Posted October 16, 2019 Here are two wings made to match the first design, one by Amico and the other by LGB. They have the same shaped S's and lack the horizontal lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5thwingmarty Posted October 16, 2019 Share #19 Posted October 16, 2019 Thanks Mel. I have not seen sterling Service Pilot wings from other manufacturers that lack the lines behind the letter. I believe Assman ran the lines vertically on their letter wings. I have never seen a wing that matched the overall style of that in the Circular 106 diagram. The wings in the latter Circular 188 diagram are stylistically much more normal, similar to AECo or issue wing styles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
