Urban Legend?
I was present with my Great Uncles 'wings' when I graduated. Like 80% of the air war fatalities he was killed whilst instructing in '42. (a solo student, on a practice glide approach, descended onto his aircraft killing both him and his student.)
I wore his wings, with 'kings crown', proudly for 13yrs. The same brevet is now mounted & framed in a quiet corner of my house.
Jacko, thank-you for the history lesson, much appreciated. Perhaps you could help further.
The 'kings crown' has been filled in with red thread. Its obviously amateur handly work - perhaps him, perahps his batman?
I've always believed that this was the equivalent of todays '1000 hour' patch.
Fact, myth, legend?
Regards
