I know this item is pretty common but I thought I'd post it for posterity. My grandfather was in the US Army Air Corps in Africa, Italy, and points beyond.
He was an engine mechanic...a Pratt and Whitney man. When a British plane crash landed at his airfield in Italy and caught fire, my grandfather assisted in getting the crew out of the burning hulk. A grateful British flyer gave him this badge. It's the only British item he brought back and he thought a lot of it. Ammersee
