Marty Upchurch Collection

These wings were made by Blackinton. They are likely pre-WW2 and may be Balloon Observer wings. According to Marty, when the rating was changed from Aeronaut to Balloon Observer in 1921 the badge was changed removing the US on the balloon that was on the earlier wings. In 1940 this style badge was changed to Balloon Pilot and the new wing with the O on the balloon became the Balloon Observer badge. Since it does not appear that Blackinton made balloon badges into the 40s, there is a belief that this is an earlier balloon observer badge.
