Pilots Wings USA
« on: February 02, 2015, 03:56:52 am »
I started collecting pilots wings way back soon after I qualified as a pilot and soon discovered that most countries have only one or two variations but the United States have a wonderful selection to collect. However not too long after I started I visited the Smithsonian and came across a whole wall covered in wings it was magnificent but destroyed my urge to continue collecting there was just no competition. Anyway here is some I have mounted as far as I am aware all but the AVG/ Flying Tigers wings are genuine. To find a genuine pair of wings worn by a Flying Tigers pilot is almost impossible given that they were a small unit and were not in service many years. Thats another story.
