Default Looking for photos
Hello everyone, hopefully you can give me some help. I'm looking for wartime photos of SAAF airmen/officers wearing the "Lettered" aircrew wings, both crowned and uncrowned. I found this photo, looking for more.

Nice pic. I think I have only one, which has already appeared on here, but I have a number of the wings, and can photo them if its any use?

Sure, Ièd love to see some SAAF aircrew wings. I have a few, but they are items not often seen

No problem, I'll try and do it over the next few days. I dont have any crowned ones, but they are very distinct in style.

Hi,
I will scan and post a picture of my great uncle that served as a radio operator in SAAF during WWII. I have his wings, badges and medals as well.

Will also scratch through my small collection of photographs and see if there are any other SAAF pics I have showing wings.

Regards
Steven

Hi All
I have quite a few SAAF wings, but I don't think I've ever seen a crowned half-wing 'in the flesh'. I think they must be extremely rare.
Cheers,
Alex
