Rare WWII Chinese National Aviation Corp. (CNAC) Collar Insignia

This is a rare World War II collar insignia for the Chinese National Aviation Corporation (CNAC), 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. Many of the members of the Flying Tigers, the American Volunteer Group, eventually went into the CNAC. C.N.A.C. is spelled out on the pin.

Circa World War II.

3/8" height and 1-3/8" width.

Plated brass.

Horizontal pin with "C" catch.

This is from a Chinese aviation collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VGGX09 LEJEX3/10 SCJJX3/11

7+ (Very Fine+): Insignia shows some light wear.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
