This is the same pattern of the extremely rare India-Theater-Made Glider Pilot Wings With the Thick Calligraphy "G" of the 1st Air Commando Group centered. Operation Thursday was the only Glider Op in the India/Burma Area and the 1st Aerial Invasion onto enemy territory; it was assigned 6 Flight Surgeons who flew in the Gliders with the men, one crashing next to a Japanese Base and the Flight Surgeon lead the troops to the secret landing field, Broadway, 80 miles through the jungles. The Operation Thursday build up and execution Nov 1943-May1944 was during the time period of Regulation specs for the Gilt 1st Design of the Flight Surgeon wing spanning Feb 1943 to Sept 1944.

I usually don't post two wings together but this set and the following set are a great example of a matched pair of full size and shirt size badges. These CBI made wings are an exceptionally attractive design and the fact that Russ was able to find a full and shirt size in both gold and silver in this relatively rare pattern is very impressive. I'm most thankful he has shared them with me for the site for all of us to appreciate.
