Australian Army Aviation Observer Half Wing

The ‘Australian Army Aviation Observer Half Wing’ is a significant emblem in the Australian military history, symbolising the valor and commitment of the aviation observers. The badge, also known as the ‘Half Wing’, is worn on the uniform to indicate the observer’s role in the Army Aviation Corps. The design features an eagle in flight, representing the observer’s keen eyes and swift response, superimposed on a Federation Star, embodying the unity of Australia’s six states.
