Original World War II U.S. Army Air Corps Aviation Cadet cap insignia, manufactured by Meyer of New York. Crafted in two parts, it features gold-plated wings and a silver-plated two-blade propeller, symbolizing a cadet’s status in training. This insignia was worn by cadets in the U.S. Army Air Forces Flying School before they earned their wings as commissioned flying officers.
The back of the badge bears Meyer & Co.’s shield logo and includes a screw post with two small positioning pins for secure attachment.
