A pair of outspread wings worn as a qualification badge by aircrew.
Also known as: Pilot wings, Flying badge
Outspread wings, usually flanking a central device, worn on the chest to mark a completed flying qualification. Among the most internationally recognisable badge forms, and among the most nationally variable in detail.
A badge of outspread wings, generally flanking a central emblem, worn on the breast to indicate a qualification as pilot or aircrew.
A qualification badge rather than a rank device: it records a course completed and a competence held, and is worn regardless of the wearer's rank.
The central device, the number of wings and the badge's exact form vary by nation and by service; a single wing commonly marks a non-pilot aircrew qualification in several air forces.
Detail is national. The wing form recurs internationally; its precise meaning does not.
A pair of feathered wings spread horizontally outward from a small central emblem, worn flat on the chest.
