Help with wings badge ID

I should be very grateful for your help in identifying the attached.

With thanks.

I thinks it's American and upside down.

To add to Alan's answer, the badge is the US Army Glider Badge. They have been reproduced, so caution is advised.

Yes, that is a US glider badge worn by the glider troops in the Airborne Divisions in the US army . Additionally, that one is British made and looks good to me. Over here, British made Airborne items are highly sought after.

Hope this helps a little,

Terry

I take it its the pin that shows it to be British made? Wouldn't want to land like that. Regards, Paul.

[Frank Kelley]

Agreed, certainly just from the photographs anyway.
