Sterling Wwii Army Air Corps Navigator Wings Badge Insignia 3 Amico Ww2 #244

ORIGINAL WORLD WAR II UNITED STATES ARMY AIR CORPS NAVIGATOR WING INSIGNIA, 3 INCH SIZE, PIN-BACK. "STERLING AMICO" (AMERICAN INSIGNIA COMPANY). The Navigator Badge is a military qualification badge of the United States Air Force which was first created during the Second World War.

The original Navigator badge was issued by the U. Army Air Forces and consisted of an armillary sphere centered between two wings. The badge was similar to the Aviator Badge and the Aircrew Badge.

On July 26, 1947, the U. Air Force became a separate Branch of Service in the U. And in late 1951 the Aircraft Observer, Navigator, and Bombardier badges were replaced with a single design, with the Air Force shield centered between two wings. Please let me know if there's anything else I can do for you!
