Beautiful, Iconic Indian-Made CNAC (Chinese National Aviation Corp) Pilot Wing

This is a beautiful and iconic World War II era pilot wing for CNAC (Chinese National Aviation Corporation), an airline co-owned equally by Pan Am Airlines and the Chinese government. CNAC ran many missions for the United States Army Air Forces American Volunteer Group (AVG) during the war, and many AVG members became CNAC employees after the AVG disbanded. The wing is beautifully made in solid silver with blue and red enameled details. The Chinese characters on the shield at the wing's center stand for the company's name.
