This is a museum quality reproduction of the WWI Pilot wing design by Shreve and Co. This wing is rather large measuring 3 1/4 inches. This wing is made in sterling silver and the US letters gold plated in 24karat gold. The silver wing is mounted on a brass plate and black wool is sewn between them in the WWI Style. The Shreve wing is an extremely rare wing and considered one of the best designs of the WWI era.
I was reading through the list of fallen soldiers and and came across the
name of SGT Roy A. Wood.
I served proudly with him with the 73rd Field Hospital in St. Petersburg. I
did not know he was killed and I grieve for him today.
Thanks for publishing his name. I won't forget.
