The National WWII Museum | Clipped Wing Insignia | FROM THE COLLECTION @wwiimuseum | Uploaded 8 months ago | Updated 8 hours ago
Kim Guise, Senior Curator and Director of Curatorial Affairs at The National WWII Musuem in New Orleans, discusses the unique culture created between POWs, specifically those in service with the Army Air Forces. Sgt. Marion Wright “Hap” Hazard created a “clipped wing” version of the signature aviation badge. It was modified to symbolize the plight as a POW. This is one of the artifacts you can find in the Museum’s final permanent exhibit hall, Liberation Pavilion.
Liberation Pavilion explores the end of World War II, the Holocaust, the postwar years, and how the war continues to impact our lives today.
