WW2 Czech Aircrew Wing Sterling Maker Spink and Son London

This WW2 Czech Aircrew Wing is an original insignia produced in sterling silver by Spink and Son, London. Issued to Czechoslovak aircrew serving with the Royal Air Force during the Second World War, the wing was worn on the left breast of RAF uniforms by qualifying personnel. The design features a pair of stylized outstretched wings flanking a shield with the Czech lion at the center, symbolizing national identity and allegiance. The reverse is marked with “Sterling” and the Spink and Son maker’s details, confirming authenticity and manufacturer. These wings represent the contributions of Czechoslovak pilots and aircrew who fled occupied Europe to serve alongside Allied forces. Items such as this are notable for their craftsmanship and historical significance, reflecting both military and cultural history from the wartime period. The piece is a tangible example of wartime cooperation and the service of foreign volunteers in Allied air operations.
