11/13/2007 - I'm very sad to report the passing of J. Duncan Campbell. Duncan was an AAF veteran and a pioneer in wing collecting. I was fortunate enough to speak to him several times on the phone and he was always most gracious in helping me out with the million questions I had even though I was just a beginning collector. His books are invaluable and the knowledge he personally shared with me is equally as invaluable. The hobby has lost one of the good guys.

This site is for veterans, enthusiasts or anyone else interested in aviation insignia of World War II. The goal is to create a collection of images of as many different patterns, sizes and makes of the wings worn by these valiant people. In the resources section you will find some excellent guides to wings and wing collecting. I'm hoping to add to those sources by displaying as many wings as possible on this site.

I'm not an expert on wings by any means so please feel free to dispute the authenticity of any item on the site. I do my best to only show period pieces.

If you have any images from your collection you would like to add to any category please e-mail me. Please help me make this a resource all wings fans can share. Please remember, I would like to display only period wings so please - no restrikes!

Thanks, Bob
