I too am fond of "sweethearts". Looks like a nice item. The price sounds OK.

The wing is actually for an Aircrew member and not a pilot. Some info about these wings can be found here:

What you say is true Phil.

Pilots get a lot of the glamour, while aircrew get far less of the glory.

Cheers, Ade.

cool thanks Ade for the info , i love the history behind it pity i'll never find what happened to the crewman who made it or the women he gave it to but still its a nice piece of history.

Sometimes if is worth asking the seller a few questions. Many don't realise that the history behind the item is important. Often they will know who it belonged to etc but they just don't bother saying.

Cheers, Ade.

Are the wings the 2 inch across "shirt" type, or 3 inch across actual uniform wear type ?

[NickD]

the whole main piece from wing tip to wing tip is about 3"
