Bombardier Badge

Originally known as the Bombing Aviator Badge, the Bombardier Badge was first issued by the United States Army Air Service during the First World War.

During World War II, the Bombardier Badge was a common aeronautical badge of the United States Army Air Forces.

The badge was issued to all military bombardiers upon completion of basic flight training and advanced bomber instruction.

With the creation of the United States Air Force in 1947, the Bombardier Badge was gradually phased out and none were issued after 1949.

Physically the badge had stamped sterling silver wings, a bomb like look in the middle, and a pin on the back.
