I have some questions regarding antique military pilot wings.
1) Is there anything that states that you could not wear WWII (antique) pilot wings on your uniform. For example if your grandfather was an aviator in WWII and wanted to pass his wings onto you would that be allowed?
2) If a person were to buy antique WWII Pilot Wings and restore them so that one could wear them if allowed. Would people few that as offensive to the past?
The reason I ask this is that I recently went to the Pacific Aviation Museum on Ford Island, HI. The message that really stuck in my head was "Least we forget". In my view I would look at someone wearing those antique wings as a way for a modern day pilot to remember those who protected our country so long ago. I would just like some other input on my thoughts.
