WWII Imperial Japanese Army Youth Pilot Badge with Aviation Special Badge

  
This is a Youth Pilot Badge from the Imperial Japanese Army, awarded to young aviators who trained in the military flight schools. Unlike the standard Officer or NCO Pilot Badges, this was designated for (Shonen Hikohei), young boys who were trained as military pilots during wartime Japan. The badge features the traditional wings and propeller design, similar to officer and NCO badges, but it was specific to the youth aviation program. The engraving on the back confirms it belonged to a 10th Class Youth Flying Soldier (10), making it a highly historically significant piece. Additionally, this set includes an Aviation Special Badge , which was worn by air force personnel as a qualification mark. This is a rare opportunity to own an authentic piece of history from the WWII-era Japanese Army Air Service. International Buyers - Please Note.
