United States Army Air Force aerial gunner pin
Aerial gunnery.; Armed Forces--Insignia; United States. Army Air Forces; Women Airforce Service Pilots (U.S.); World War, 1939-1945
Silver pin featuring a set of wings and a winged bullet in the center. This pin was created to recognize both the training and hazardous duty of aerial gunners who manned defensive machine guns on board such aircraft as the B-17, B-24, B-25, B-26, and B-29 bombers. It is unclear how Elizabeth McGeorge Sullivan came to have this badge as she was never trained as a gunner nor did any of the WASPs ever see combat. However, she did correspond with three men, Howard "Howdy" A. Kelly, Malcolm Ruth, and Denver "Denny" K. Ake, who went through gunnery school in 1942 and 1943. It is possible that one of these men could have given this pin to Elizabeth.
