    TC,
    In the bottom pic of the back of the three wings, The bottom unmarked one is what I have been told are the graduation wings.
    I have a similar pair and when I asked member Steve(Walkwolf), that is what I was told.
    Nice AMCRAFT's. I got a set of those also.

    You have a wonderful grouping!!

    Very interesting material, of course the onus is on you to preserve this material as one group and keep the history alive. I have a large collection of relics from my uncle, who was a Luftwaffe fighter wingco, and I prize this material above all else.
