The Silver Wing Medal Design
The Silver Wing medal is crafted from silver-colored metal. It features a pair of silver wings extending from the bottom to nearly the top of the medal. Positioned between the tips of these wings are three raised five-pointed stars arranged over two chevrons, one below the other. At the center of the medal is a relief of a paratrooper helmet placed above three arched bands located at the base of the wings.
The accompanying ribbon is white with a central red stripe flanked by yellow edges, bordered by blue stripes on either side.
