I left the service in 1969 and at no time during my Air Tech (A/E) days was I ever issued with a set of wings ( shoulder flash/badge). There were questions as to whether we were entitled to wings way back in 1962 but nothing ever came of it. It appears that times and thoughts change and today the Air Techs are issued with wings.
I ‘ll have to put it to all readers who served as Air Techs pre and post 1969 to get the time when these were first issued.
Did any Air Tech reader get issued wings? If so when?
Is my memory failing me?
