Naval Aviation Observer (Navigation) Badge
The Naval Aviation Observer (Navigation) Badge was a short lived military badge of the United States Navy which was issued between March of 1945 and 1947. The badge recognized naval personnel who were trained as navigators onboard 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.
