The WW2 US Airborne Jump Wings Silver Filled insignia is a military badge awarded to members of the United States Army Airborne forces during World War II. This badge features an open parachute flanked by stylized wings, representing the successful completion of parachute training and qualification for airborne operations. The design was first approved in 1941 and became a symbol of airborne troops who participated in significant operations during the war, including Normandy and Operation Market Garden.
