History of the badge
U.S. Wings are most often found in 3 basic sizes. The 2 3/4 inch to 3 inch length wings are typically worn on Uniforms, Tunics, and Jackets and usually referenced as full-sized wings. The 2 inch wings were typically worn on shirts and the 1 inch wings were used on garrison or side caps. Also, the smaller sized wings were sometimes used by GIs as gifts to girlfriends or wives as sweetheart type items.
