WWII Circa 1943, WASP, WOMEN’S AIRFORCE SERVICE PILOT WING, Class 43-W-1, BULLION WING. Here is a WWII WASP Bullion Pilot Wing that one does not see very often. This wing has come back into the collectors market and is very uncommon. Bullion wire thread embroidered on gabardine. Depicts a central shield-shaped escutcheon, with the class number “W1″ flanked by a wing on each side. The number just above the shield is the squadron number of the Training Command, and is difficult to identify. This does not react to Ultra Violet light. This is a Collectors and Museum Grade Item. Research shows that this WASP Pilot wing dates to 1943. A total of eighteen WASP classes completed training: eight in 1943 and ten in 1944. Classes graduating in 1944 and thereafter were issued the newly designed official Army Air Forces WASP wings with a diamond-shaped lozenge in the center. Unlike this earlier WASP wing design, with its central shield-shaped escutcheon, the new silver badge conformed to heraldic tradition by incorporating a lozenge centered between two wings. In heraldic usage, a lozenge is the traditional shape of a woman’s coat of arms. It is said to have been selected for its resemblance to the shape of the shield carried by Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, weaving, crafts, and war. This design was used until the deactivation of WASP in December 1944. With the above being said, eight classes graduated in 1943, W-1 thru W-8. This wing pattern was not used after 1943. The first two classes were marked with the 319th, and thereafter the 318th for the remaining five classes in 1943. So this either has to be the 319th or the 318th. This Pilot wing had to belong to a member of the 319th Training Command, which was the first graduating class of 1943, W1. Is it possible that this WASP Pilot wing was made in England during WWII? I wish I could answer that. Of the 25,000 women who applied for flight training, 1,830 were accepted, and of those, 1,074 received their wings. The second, third, and fourth classes, designated 43-W-2, 43-W-3, and 43-W-4, entered training in Houston, but in April of 1943 all training was shifted to the 318th AAFTD at Avenger Field near Sweetwater, Texas. 5773 The Women Airforce Service Pilots Badge was an award of the United States Army that was issued during the Second World War. The badge created for the Women Airforce Service Pilots, or WASP (not WASPs, because the acronym already includes the plural “Pilots”), was awarded to more than a thousand women who had qualified for employment as civilian, non-combat pilots of military aircraft used by the U. Army Air Forces during World War II. The first wings were privately and hastily designed and paid for out of the pockets of Floyd Odlum and his wife, Jacqueline Cochran, who in 1942 became the head of WASP. The item “WWII-Circa 1943, WASP, WOMENS AIRFORCE SERVICE PILOT, Class 43-W-1, BULLION WING” is in sale since Sunday, August 11, 2019.

10K Gold Class Ring U. S. Air Force Communications Service NCO Academy Sz. 11.25
Note 1: NO SALES TO VIETNAMESE OR OTHER FOREIGNERS. TO DATE, I HAVE CANCELLED 3 ORDERS. DESCRIPTION A fairly large and heavy Jostens 10K “solid” yellow gold men’s class ring from the Unites States Air Force Communications Service NCO Academy (not to be confused with the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, CO). The initials “RHC” (very likely the initials of the original owner) are engraved on the interior of the ring. The insignia for the Air Force Communications Service (AFCS) was a clenched armored fist above a globe / sphere. Stars appear in the insignia and six jagged rays / lightning bolts emanate from the fist. All are enclosed within a shield. This insignia appears on the right side of the ring. On the opposite side of the ring, in a shield below an eagle with outstretched wings, there is a second, smaller insignia having a total of eight pointed zig-zag rays emanating from a winged device. This insignia is present on several U. That makes it 39 to 46 years old. History of the AFCS and its Academy The Air Force Communications Service began life as the Army Airways Communications System Wing on April 13, 1943. It was activated, as part of Flight Control Command, on April 26, 1943. After the Air Force became a separate branch of the U. Military in 1947 and following several intervening name changes, on July 1, 1961 the entity described in the paragraph above was officially re-designated as the Air Force Communications Service (AFCS), the name and initials that appear on this ring. On November 15, 1979, the Air Force Communications Service was officially renamed as the Air Force Communications Command , marking the end of the “Air Force Communications Service” designation. The name has changed several times since then. With regard to the AFCS Noncommissioned Officer (NCO) Academy , it was officially established May 1st, 1972 at Richards-Gebaur Air Force Base, near Kansas City Missouri, under the command of Capt Henry J. The academy was designed for noncommissioned, E-6 through E-9, officers. On September 30, 1977, as part of the relocation of HQ AFCS and the closure of Richards-Gebaur AFB, the 1872d School Squadron (NCO Academy/Leadership School) moved from Richards-Gebaur to Keesler AFB, Biloxi Mississippi. Sources (three; use Google to search for each of the phrases below, clicking on the first search result). 10K Yellow Gold The gold portion of the ring is in very good condition. It does show some light wear and small nicks, commensurate with age, but all the words and letters appearing on the ring are readily legible. As can be seen in the photos, the ring is not misshapen. Synthetic stone The blue synthetic stone is in overall fair condition and substantially intact but does exhibit small chips / flakes, mostly at the edges where the smooth, flat table on the top of the stone meets the faceted sides. The imperfections are most viewable in the second photograph. This condition is not uncommon in class rings having faceted synthetic stones of non-trivial age. In the photographs accompanying my listings I go to some lengths to illustrate imperfections. In the “Condition” sections of my listings I do my best to point out issues regardless of whether or not they are readily visible in the photographs. The item “10K Gold Class Ring U. S.
