Re: unknown wings

What you have is wings for elisted aircrew

"The Aircrew Badge is a qualification badge of the United States military that is awarded by all five branches of military service. The decoration is intended to recognize the training and qualifications required by enlisted aircrew of military aircraft. Such personnel are not pilots, however, but still must undergo an advanced training process in order to qualify as an aircrew member and receive the Aircrew Badge.

The Air Force Aircrew Badge is a direct successor to the Army Air Forces version of the decoration. Originally known simply as the Aircrew Badge, the Air Force began issuing the decoration to enlisted Aircrew members in 1947. By the time of the Korean War, regulations had been established for a senior and master version of the badge, indicated by a star and wreath above the decoration. As with the Army Aviator Badge, seniority of the Aircrew Badge was determined by flight hours obtained and years of service in the Air Force."
