    Hi Hallibag; this kind of insignia replaced the stars on the uniforms of every branch of service during the RSI period, so it's impossible to say if it actually belonged to an aviator; it existed in 3 sizes, small to large, respectively for collar tabs, shirts and overcoats. Your seems to be of the medium size.
