Naval Aviation Observer (Navigation) Badge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Naval Aviation Observer (Navigation) Badge was a short-lived military badge of the United States Navy that was issued between March of 1945 and 1947. The badge recognized naval personnel who were trained as navigators on board naval aircraft.
Also known as the Naval Aviation Observer Navigator Wings, or simply as the Naval Navigator Badge, the Naval Aviation Observer (Navigation) Badge was phased out of the Navy by 1948 in favor of the Naval Aviation Observer Badge.
The Naval Navigation Observer Badge was later adopted by the United States Marine Corps and, in the modern age, is known as the Marine Aerial Navigator Badge.
