Liaison Pilot Wings Wwii Army Air Forces Badge Insignia 3 Sterling #066

ORIGINAL WORLD WAR II UNITED STATES ARMY AIR CORPS LIAISON PILOT WINGS, 3 INCH SIZE, PIN-BACK. A liaison pilot was a World War II United States pilot, whose wings bore an "L" in the center. They flew light single engine liaison aircraft. Included were many enlisted aviation students who left basic combat training after having their first solo-flight and were given the opportunity to become liaison pilots. Flight training consisted of about 60 hours of flying time and stressed such procedures as short field landings and takeoffs over obstacles, low altitude navigation, first aid, day and night reconnaissance, aerial photography, and aircraft maintenance.

30 carbine-these men in 28 different squadrons flew low and slow with wheels, skis, or floats. Please let me know if there's anything else I can do for you!
