"These Wings were commissioned for creation by the indigenous Indian population in the city of Calcutta most likely, where most men stationed in India took their leave. Theater made wings were made by hand in the little metallurgy huts and storefronts at the bazaars there. The 1st ACG glider Pilots had a particular stylized "G" in block lettering with the ear of the donkey sticking out the back. The 1st ACG Glider Pilots designed this block letter "G" for use on their jackets and their patches as well as here on there glider pilot theater made wings. I have only seen 2 of this late 1943 early 1944 design of 1st ACG theater made wing in my years of collecting and research, with heavy focus on CBI." - Mel

The Mel R. E. "mtnman" Collection
4/28/2013
Very unique Custom Designed Juarez "Coin Silver" Glider pilot wing which Flight Officer Kenneth Drasher wore as he was finishing up training in Lubbock, TX for transfer to Europe where he likely would have been active in any of Dragoon, Market Garden, Repulse & Varsity Glider Ops. He was killed June 8th 1944 in a training crash, before his transfer. He had a very unique set of wings. These are NOT your standard Juarez Wing as these were taken to a Jeweler who ground the surface of what must have been a Juarez Pilot Wing to a smooth surface. The Jeweler then proceeded to carefully etch an excellent Outlined "G" on the shield.
