WWII Aviation Cadet Hat Insignia

[chrisplay2004]

Spent half a day coin shooting and made some good finds. Then I was headed home when I saw this empty lot that used to have a home on it. In know these homes were built in the early 1940's so I figured I would hunt out my last half hour of sunlight. The lot was full of copper tubing, nails, cans, car parts...jeesh. I was getting tired of pulling garbage up. As I headed back to my car I got a pretty good sounding hit. I was really excited to see this and I knew is was pretty old. After some research I found out that it is a World War II
Aviation Cadet Hat Insignia with Large gold wings with silver propeller. Screw backed, for use on the garrison cap. 3" wide, propeller is 2". Not in the best condition, but a great way to end the day.
