USA AVIATOR badge

[vwight]

Hey everyone. Been part of this site for many years then things happened but got out today for a short bit and here's something I dug. Not sure what era it's from or what branch of military, possibly Army. Says USA AVIATOR on the front and missing one side of wing. Any ideas? I've searched but no matches yet.

Any marks on the back?'
It may not even be (adult) military; a kid's badge
Don.......

Thanks Don. It's heavier than the norm. It's got writing on the back, but hard to make out. XVDV? Possibly an upside down Y after those letters? Take a look.

These were kids badges from the 30s and 40s. Some were marked American Aviator as well. You can type in Aviator badge in the tent search bar and see similar examples.
