The WOG WING.
Dear Forum,
This wing is a debatable issue according to what I have heard... Here is a specimen I have recently obtained. Opinions welcome... Thank you. Regards, Dominique |

Hi Dominique, Yes this is a controversial wing. It is reported to represent Wireless Operator Ground, which begs the question as to why it is a wing. RCAF Mike, Wingnut, or SAS1 (or another expert in wings) will have more.

Interesting response on the WAG question here from Alex
http://www.network54.com/Forum/18074...lf+wing+emblem If unofficial, as stated, perhaps WOG and WAG were to those wearing them, the same and it was just down to personal choice/interpretation as they were unsanctioned ? T |

Hi Jo, The reference for WOG as Wireless Operator Ground comes from Warren Carroll's, Eagles Recalled, page 122.

An old collector friend of mine had told me these appeared in the 70's. They all have the same minor flaw in the feathers. I never seen any pics of them being worn. They look original and maybe they were made as prototype? Anyone's guess as to real storey behind them.
