The "winged wheel" is one of four symbols on the seal of the US Army Transportation Corps. Each symbol relates to a specific mode. The Wing represents Air; others are the Wheel (on a rail) to indicate Rail Roads, a US Highway Marker (prior to the Interstate shield) to indicate Roads or surface transport, and a Ship's Wheel (encircling the emblem) to indicate Sea transport. Your pin most likely was in use between 1949 and 1975. The original pins were produced in Attleboro, MA. A sterling silver lapel pin was at one time presented only to Life Members, but later was available for purchase.
