Reunions



1st emblem by the Association created by Dale Oliver
1973 Reunion: “An emblem designed by Dale Oliver was adopted as the official emblem of the association.”
December 1974 - “NEW EMBLEM - Above is pictured the official insignia of the National World War II Glider Pilots Association. This has already been made into a beautiful jacket emblem as was displayed at St. Petesburg reunion...In addition the emblem is being made up into a car window decal and will be furnished to each dues paying member in 1975. We are deeply indebted to Dale Oliver for the original art work on htis insinia. It has been in the works for many, many months and at last is a reality. Another sign of the progress the organization is making.”


Seal

This coat of arms was designed by the U.S. Army Institute of Heraldry. The shield in the center is Air Force Blue with eight stars at the top denoting the number of WWII campaigns in which gliders were used for combat assaults. The single star at the base of the shield represents the five Army Air Forces to which gliders were assigned. The scarlet globe in the center symbolizes the worldwide conflict of World War II, and its two sections allude to the glider’s employment in both the northern latitudes of Europe and southern latitudes of the Pacific. The silhouetted glider is a Waco CG4A seemingly in flight against a background of sky and clouds. This is the current challenge coin of the National WWII Glider Pilots Committee.
