This is a museum quality reproduction of a wing shown on page 38 of the book "Thirty Years of US Army Pilot Wings" by Charles I Fitzsimmons. The wing is made in sterling silver with the letters US in 24kt gold plate. This is a rather modern looking design for WWI and a unique looking wing for that era. Dr. Firzsimmons does not provide any insight into the wing. It may have been a one of a kind. The silver parts are mounted on a brass plate which is covered by the wool cloth. As was the original.

This is a museum reproduction of an extremely rare WWI wing. Talk about ultra rare, this is it. You cant even find pictures of this one in most of the books. They just dont exist. 3 3/4 inches wide. The only pictures seem to be ads from WWI selling the wings. Most pilots just wore their standard Pilot wings and very few spent the extra dollar to get these. Most wings were jeweler designed and not official. The pursuit pilot wing is the rarest of all WWI wings.
