Jon Maguire's book Silver Wings, Pinks & Greens was a
tremendous success and set a new standard for American uniform and
insignia references. Following its publication there still remained
among collectors and historians a desire for more information.
There was also an outpouring from many serious collectors who made
available a wealth of items-the result, More Silver Wings, Pinks
& Greens. This book of all new material greatly expands on the
wing qualification bagdes, uniforms, and patches presented in the
first book. Additionally, this work covers totally new areas
including Civil Air Patrol, W.A.S.P.s, Air Transport Command,
Factory Techincal Representatives, and "Yanks" in the RAF an RCAF.
Other new areas presented are uniforms and insignia of the First
World War era, and the "Golden Age" of the 1920s-1930s. There is
also a large section on Aviation Cadets and civilian contract
flying schools and instructors. The book is presented in the
detailed and thorough style typical of Jon Maguire's work. Original
items are shown in over 1000 color photographs, as well as numerous
unpublished period photographs showing the items as they were worn.
Jon Maguire is also the author of Gear Up! Flight Clothing &
Equipment of USAAF Airmen in World War II, American Flight Jackets,
Airmen & Aircraft, and Art of the Flight Jacket(all available
from Schiffer Publishing Ltd.).
