Converted wings.

[Dave B]

Hi all,

Just wondering if anybody has any wings that have been converted for other uses?

I got these standard 3 inch Amico Pilot wings from eBay, they have been turned into an attractive bracelet...for his sweetheart maybe?

Anybody else have any converted wings?

Looks like I'm the only one then eh

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? Jack Angolia
