Offered is a 3 inch, pinback, silver plated AAF Glider Pilot wing. The wing is not hallmarked, but it is a GEMSCO 1st style glass graduation wing in which the G has been applied to an observer wing. When the Gov't regulations were approved for issuance of a Glider Pilot wing, several companies, such as Gemsco, applied the G over the observer wing in order to get the wings to the first graduating classes. Later on, the G was appied to the standard pilots wing. This is a rare variation as most of these wings were destroyed when the standard wings began to be issued. This is the only GEMSCO style Glider Pilot wing with the G on the observer wing that I have ever seen. The wing is in excellent condition and guaranteed to be an original WWII wing. Shipping with insurance is a flat $5.00. Please note that I ship only on the Saturday after payment has been confirmed.
