Default W.W.1 RAF Pilot Wing for Review

Hi,

I pick up this padded RAF Pilot wing recently. It came with a British War and Victory medals both named to Lieutenant E. A. Johnson R.A.F. I presume the wing is a W.W.1 original but I can't find this type in Warren Carroll book "Eagles Recalled". Thanking you all in advance and hoping to hear from some of you very soon.

Regards, juno-44

I'd be happy with that as a 1918 to 1920 period wing
