Canadian Forces Airborne White Leaf Jump Wing

The Canadian Forces Airborne White Leaf Jump Wing is a military qualification badge awarded to members of the Canadian Armed Forces who have successfully completed airborne parachute training. The badge features a white maple leaf placed centrally above a pair of stylized wings, symbolizing both Canadian identity and airborne proficiency. The design is typically embroidered, measuring approximately 2.5 inches in width, with the white leaf set against a dark blue or black background for visibility on the uniform. This insignia was introduced in the postwar period and remains an important emblem for Canadian paratroopers. It is worn on the left breast of dress and combat uniforms by qualified personnel. The white leaf variant is distinct from the red-leafed version, which denotes senior parachutist qualification. The Airborne Jump Wing represents completion of basic parachute training and is a recognized symbol of the Canadian Airborne community. This item is of interest to collectors of Canadian military memorabilia and insignia.
