Description
This is an extremely rare United States Army Air Forces air gunner wing from early 1943 by Amico. The wing is in plated brass. Although AMICO obviously made up the correct "Target" wing die early on, they were apparently still using up supplies of brass, otherwise diverted by that year to ammunitions manufacturers.
