bronze for NCOs.
As an incentive to lure infantry, artillery, cavalry, and engineer officers into aviation to become pilots, the Japanese Army instituted its pilot’s badge in time for the graduation of the first pilots.
The award was abolished in 1940, but the NCO class badge was still awarded up until the end of WW2.
The badge measures 37.5 mm by 51.6 mm and is made of multiple pieces in silver and bronze with a gilt star in the center, illustrating wings on either side framing a series of rays emanating from behind the star, and a two-bladed propeller at the base of the wings. It has a vertical pinback.[/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html css=”.vc_custom_1589024511233{padding-top: 24px ;padding-bottom: 24px ;}”]JTNDaW5zJTIwY2xhc3MlM0QlMjJlcG4tcGxhY2VtZW50JTIyJTIwZGF0YS1jb25maWctaWQlM0QlMjI1ZWI2OTU4ZmM2NWQ2MDczY2I1YTg1MGElMjIlM0UlM0MlMkZpbnMlM0U=[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1555950715853{padding-bottom: 24px ;}”]
