Lets put a little importance on the wings. Liaison pilot, WWII. Many were pilots who had washed out of regular flight training, after they had soloed, and had been given the opportunity to b ecome liaison pilots. Their flight training was about 60 hrs and stressed such procedures as short field landings and takeoffs. Many flew spotter airplains, unarmored and unarmed. Also photo and intelligence missions. Took a lot of gumption to be in that business at that time. HH Stan...

Thank you everyone for the wonderful comments. Snorton, thanks for the info on the silver wings (marked "sterling" on the reverse). I wondered what exactly the "L" stood for, now I know . Mona and Mighty, I live in Nampa, and hunt the surrounding areas . Research, and friends point me to old buildings that have been torn down, and parks are nice with the MXT. I spend some time at the library too. Thanks ALL for your encouragement and back pats!
