Re: Space troops wings
Hi Stah,
Thank you for your comments! Yes, you are right! The second set of badges you posted were awarded to cosmonauts after their first space flight along with the Pilot-Cosmonaut of the Soviet Union/Russian Federation badge, which is discussed in the thread Space Medals, starting with post #546. Some of the earlier cosmonauts preferred to retain their Air Force pilot wings rather than wear the newer cosmonaut badges - look closely at pictures of the early flown cosmonauts. As to the numbers, I'll have to check into that some more. Mike
