ARTIFACT:
This is an extremely rare wing for the Jordanian Pilot of the King's Flight, Royal Pilot of the King of Jordan, worn by only a handful of pilots qualified as Royal Pilots. These pilots are not considered civilian, and are not really military, but Royal: they are the King's own personal pilots. The bullion wing's colors are those of the nation of Jordan and the crown shown is that of the rulers of the Hashemite Kingdom of Transjordan/Jordan. This wing dates from the period of King Abdullah I or King Tulal, or perhaps early on during King Hussein's Rule (circa early 1950). This wing was identified by Colin Fuller: many thanks!
