John R. Angolia Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 No, you're not the only one. I have two--one virtually identical to yours, but with a long rectangular silver plate on the opposite side. It is engraved on the outer side "Evelyn M. Smiley, A-701963", and on the inside, "Dad and Mother". She was a Staff Sergeant in the WAC's. The wings were those of her brother, who was in the Flying Tigers as a P-40 pilot. As a matter of note, the uncle was a Navy Cross Recipient. The other is a standard heavy guage silver bracelet with a 2" miniature of the pilot wings. The reverse is engraved with the pilot's serial number and "Joe--from Mother--1944". This was worn by a Sfc in the CBI who washed out of pilot training. Any others out there that can add theirs?
