RAF / RCAF aircrew & pilot patches

[Jeff Diederichs]

Hello,

I recently purchased an Iron Cross 2nd class from an individual, and he "threw in" as part of the deal the following from a family collection:

1 RCAF Airial Gunner wing patch (pillow, WWII)
1 RCAF Flight Engineer wing patch (pillow, WWII)
1 RCAF flat pilot wing patch
1 RCAF pilot wing patch (on a blue background, which appears to be wire sewn and very finely detailed. This is from what I understand a private purchase dress uniform type?)
1 RAF pilot wing patch (pillow, WWII)

I will post pics early next week, (need to get my Association membership) any advice on values? I have NO experience with WWII (or otherwise) RAF or RCAF insignia, but these seem very nice if one were inclined to collect such things. Seems I got a surprise jumpstart on a nice collection should I choose to continue!!

Thanks,

Jeff

...or possibly a suggestion for online or printed reference sources?

Thanks,

Well, I'm an association member now, so Pics added. Thanks for the reference source, Lee.

and the backs. I realize now the RAF wing is Queen's crown, not WWII. Are the rest??

The bullion RCAF pilots wings appear to have a Queens crown also. All are nice looking wings.
