Gordon Craig Posted March 20 Posted March 20 Tupper, The wings are correct for the Spanish Civil War.  Here is a link to a posting of a Legion Condor uniform showing this kind of badge.  https://www.warrelics.eu/forum/axis-militaria/spanish-civil-war-condor-legion-pilot-grouping-782523/ There are lots of confusing posts showing pilots wings with crowns worn by the Nationalist side but the crown was not added to these wings until after the end of the Spanish Civil War.  Regards, Gordon

Scott Posted April 3 Posted April 3 Gordon, I've seen the term "Rokiski" used when describing every type of Spanish Air Force insgnia (primarilly wings) - often as a manufacturer of such insignia. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Rokiski literally means 'Spanish Air Force Emblem', and is not the name of a Spanish insignia company. Do I have that right?  Tupper, please forgive me for hijackng your post for my tangental question.
