Army Air Force Technician Badge

The Army Air Force Technician Badge was a decoration of the United States Army Air Force which was first created in 1941. Similar in design to the Weapons Qualification Badge, the Army Air Force Technician Badge was awarded to denote special training and qualifications held by members of the Army Air Force.

The Army Air Force Technician Badge appeared as a wreathed propeller upon which qualification bars were suspending, denoting the training and qualifications held by the wearer. The following four bars were authorized to the Army Air Force Technician Badge.

  • AP ARMORER (Aircraft armory specialists)
  • LINK TRAINER INST (Ground school training personnel)
  • T RET & SIGHT SP (Weapons calibration and systems experts)
  • WX FORECASTER (Meteorologists and weather forecasters)

With the creation of the United States Air Force, the Army Air Force Technician Badge was renamed as the Air Force Technician Badge and was continued for authorized wear into the 1960s. There were no Air Force Technician Badges issued after the Korean War, however, and by the 1970s the decoration was considered obsolete.
