 Top left is a pilot hat badge, Top right is an Engineer or Flight Mechanic hat badge, next hat badge below I think is a reproduction, next below that is an all metal, no color wing, below that is a cloth or bullion wing, below that is a full wing and below that is a half wing worn by flight mechanics. Then I have two CNAC collar bars and below that a small lapel pin. Any of these look familiar? I am really curious about the upper most wing as no one has ever seen this before.
