Propeller Badge
Hey Guys,
Found this in a junk box and figured it might be old and maybe military related. Its unmarked on the reverse from what I can see. I bought it as I figured it could be a mechanics trade badge? Anyone help? Thanx Last edited by Vix Steel; 06-01-13 at 03:19 AM. |

UIt is the badge for an Australian Air Force Leading Airman of the 1939 - 45 period.

Could also be Rhodesian or South African Air Force, especially if its not maker marked.

Possibly not SAAF -- AFAIK, their badge for this grade was a 4-bladed propellor.

Propeller badge ?Dutch/Netherlands
Hi there,
This is my first post on this forum and though this is an old thread this looks like the best place for it. Might also post this in the "It's A Mystery" section. Anyway, have been finally displaying some badges and buttons collected by my grandfather from WW2. He was a sergeant in the RAAF and was based in Borneo with a Dutch squadron. Attached is a picture of two propeller badges. The top one is (as identified in a post above) a RAAF Leading Aircraftman badge. However the bottom one I cannot find anything out about. The closest I have come is some propeller badges from the Netherlands listed on this page: http://www.jkmilitaria.com/Aviation.html The makers mark on the back is "Stokes" which I believe was a Melbourne manufacturer. Would they be making badges for other countries' armed forces? So any suggestions? Is it a Dutch Air Force badge of some type? Thanks in advance for any help. |
