WASP Wings

Pilot wings presented to Graduating Classes widely in 1943. The final official wings were presented to Class 44-1, and were worn by all graduates after that time. Women Pilots assigned to the Air Transport Command wore Air Transport Command Civilian Pilot Wings. The diamond shaped shield was said to have been selected because it was the shape of the shield carried by Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom, War and Arts and Crafts.
