AIR LEAGUE "YOUNG PILOTS" BADGE
 
Can any Forum member identify the Air League "Young Pilots" badge. I have seen a reference to it having been awarded during 1936 but have been unable to trace a picture of this item of insignia.

Any further information relating to the insignia worn by this organisation and also that of the pre-war Civil Air Guard would be extremely helpful. I am especially keen to know if those taught to fly wore different insignia from those who were pupils under training.

Kind regards, Malcolm.

Hi Malcolm,
Attached pic shows an air league badge I have in my collection.
I don't think it's the young pilots badge that you have requested.
I also have a members certificate from the same period.

Hello Gerry,

Thank you for the very interesting picture. I too have no idea if this is the Young Pilots Badge. Perhaps Forum members may have an opinion.

Once again, many thanks for taking the time to reply.

Kind regards, Malcolm.

Hi Malcolm,
If you pm me I will forward the certificate that goes with the badge. It's too big to put on here.
Gerry
