HISTORY of the R-A.A.F, WINGS
So far as can be traced, the first official use of the Wings emblem for Australian pilots was when its adoption was promulgated in Military Order No. 801 in December 1915. The Wings then carried the initials A.M.F.
A.M.F. was the first badge of the Australian Flying Corps. and was replaced by the A.F.C. Wings. The R.A.A.F. badge came into being in 1921, when the R.A.A.F. was formed.
The R.A.A.F. Wings are now recognised all over the world as a symbol of expert airmanship, camaraderie an above all courage.
