This reproduction of the very scarce AMF wing is for illustrative purposes. This wing design was a result of M.O. 423/1915. This version was issued to pilots qualified for both the AFC and the AFC Reserve. In 1916, a new issue was made under M.O. 85/1916, creating a wing for AFC pilots only. The design was identical except that the crown was removed.

This wing is highly unusual. It is exceptional condition and has been made with extreme care, by hand. The level of workmanship and detail is astounding. It is not an official pattern, and not a masquerading reproduction. One must assume that this wing was commissioned as a Dress item for a senior officer.
