3 DDR Pilot Badges

[Scott C.]

I took these three from the case to photograph, and wondered what time periods each was in use. Can someone provide a range of dates for each?

Thanks!

Thanks Michael . I'd like to see the '74-'85 version if someone has one to share...

I believe this is the 2nd variant of the middle wing:

Scott,

I think your middle "Wing Commander" badge is the 74 - 85 variant.

On the earlier one ( 64 - 74) the mig had a needle protruding from the lower section of the nose.
