US military aviators who received training as glider pilots (MOS 1026) were awarded the distinctive USAAF Glider Pilot Wings Badge. Established during World War II, this iconic emblem recognized individuals who successfully completed pilot training and flew in combat missions behind enemy lines. The badge's history dates back to early 1945 when South Plains Army Airfield near Lubbock, Texas, held its last glider pilot class before the end of World War II. Not to be confused with the Glider Badge introduced later for recognition of paratroopers from U.S. Airborne Divisions, who rode as combatants in airborne missions.
