I assume these were also intended for "tropical use".

Yes, the most likely application of a pinback wing was tropical use. That RCAF AG on the top is a great one!

Wings were awarded like this also, on a qualification parade I have pilots wings like this and have seen wings laid out on a table in a photograph ready to be awarded clearly photo to the same chap who was awarded the wing.
I can not put my hands on the photo at this time phot was RAF parade in South Africa Regards Stephen |

The top and second wings (RCAF AG and RCAF N) are standard issue wings, which appear to have had the backing pin/plate added.
The 3rd wing (N) and the bottom pilots wing both appear to be hand made / theatre made. The style of the actual wing on No. 3 is close to RAAF wings and may have been converted from one (the blue wreath and letter reworked to a brown wreath and new letter). |
