At this time, a portion of the company called Western Air Transport broke away, eventually becoming General Airlines and later WAL (then simply Western Airlines). The badge is a wing with Western's "Flying W" logo at center.

SIZE: Approximately 1-5/8" in height and 2-1/16" in width.

MATERIALS / CONSTRUCTION: Nickel-plated brass.
