Worn by air crew members (rather than pilots).

Everything you ever wanted to know about wings, but not everything ben knows... he keeps some stuff to himself...

Also... the "M22" is simply the companies hallmark: "M22 N.S.Meyer, New York, NY"

Note: Your piece dates post 1950... "Post-1950s alpha-numeric manufacturer’s codes are provided where applicable but this should not be interpreted as the sole period of production for a company. The Hilborn-Hamburger firm, for example, currently employs the code “H24.” However, this company made emblems decades before the implementation of the code mark system.

The lower badge with the circle is an enlisted aircrew member's badge. The upper one with the shield is a pilot badge (officer). Both are junior badges. You will find them with a star above the shield/circle designating a senior aircrewman/pilot, and a star surrounded by a wreath designating a master aircrewman/pilot.
