I believe they quit awarding that badge shortly after World War II since that is the last time gliders were used. Anyone who earned it would be in their 80’s or older.

There may be lots of Air force officers with them. It's taught at the academy . But we now refer to it as Soaring . :-)

How about Navy Balloon Pilot Wings. They were official Navy issue way, way back.

yes! Our Property Book Officer in 1st Ranger Battalion in 1977, CW4 Ibarra, was awarded the glider badge.
