When the first US Pilots arrived in England in WWI many had 1/2 wing Badges on their uniform. In the US a pilot in the Army Reserves wore a 1/2 wing. In Europe a non-pilot, such as a crew member wore a 1/2 wing.

WW II Chaplain Paratrooper Wing Sterling Pin Back, Gold Plated Latin Cross

This is a museum quality reproduction of a World War II Christian Chaplain Paratrooper Badge. The cross on this badge is called the Latin Cross. This reproduction is sterling but the cross is a 24 karat gold plate. This badge is a very nice filler until a real one can be found or if you are a reenactor this is the perfect answer.

Without a doubt this is the most beautiful set of Colonel insignia I have ever seen. Also it must be one the largest ever made. The wingspan is 2 3/16 of an inch and each bird weights about 1/2 ounce. This was a very short war and had many regiments such as the Rough Riders that were put together with some very rich and influential people as the heads. For example, Colonel Teddy Roosevelt, and in a picture of him in uniform it shows some rather large Colonel insignia. This insignia was first designed for the Marine Corps but also used by US Army officers.
