Need some Help ID'ing Some Military Pins

Hello I was driving around this morning and saw some people setting up for there weekend yard sale. So i stopped in and looked around and saw a box with some Old Pins and Buttons in it.. I picked out 3 of them that i thought looked pretty cool and asked how much..The Woman told me they are free if i could help her husband with an Hutch that weighed right around a ton :laughing9:
Does anyone know if these are associated with a War?..or if they are even Military Pins
The Eagle pin has "Sterling" on the back and appears to be silver not really sure thou..and the one that looks like a rocket is very heavy

any help would be great

thanks

The first is most likely an ww2 C-47 delivering a paratrooper,
they also towed gliders and faired equipment.

The second is Colonel insignia,

The third is USAF Misslemans insignia.

Nice collectable items. The plane is likely brass, the others silver.

I own one of those missile badges that I earned in the USAF for Minute Man
nuclear service.
Nice find!
