Republic of China Air Force Presentation Pilot Wings – General Tang Fei

Description:

This exceptional set of presentation pilot wings is a historic artifact from the Republic of China Air Force, personally presented by General Tang Fei, Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Air Force. The wings are accompanied by their original presentation box, adding to their significance and rarity.

The wings themselves are a beautiful example of craftsmanship, featuring a detailed silver-tone construction with a red enamel center, symbolizing the Air Force’s emblem. The reverse of the box bears an inscription in both Chinese and English, reading: “PRESENTED BY GENERAL TANG FEI, COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, CHINESE AIR FORCE, REPUBLIC OF CHINA,” commemorating the esteemed origin of this item.

The wings rest inside a velvet-lined presentation case, which shows some wear consistent with its age. The velvet cover and gold trim indicate that this piece was likely reserved for special occasions, recognizing exceptional service or as a diplomatic gift.

Historical Context:

General Tang Fei served as a high-ranking officer in the Republic of China Air Force, which played a significant role during the mid-20th century in the defense and development of Taiwan. This presentation set likely dates from Tang Fei’s tenure as Commander-in-Chief, a position he held before his later political appointments. Items such as these were typically bestowed to individuals of notable achievement or as tokens of diplomatic appreciation.

This piece represents not only a beautifully preserved artifact of military history but also a symbol of the enduring legacy of the Republic of China’s military efforts during the Cold War era. It is a must-have for collectors of aviation memorabilia or those interested in Chinese military history.

Condition:

• Wings: The wings are in excellent condition, with the red enamel and silver detailing intact.
• Presentation Box: The box shows signs of age, with some wear to the interior velvet lining and minor scuffs on the exterior.

A true collector’s piece, this set of presentation pilot wings is a tangible connection to the history of the Republic of China’s Air Force and its distinguished leader, General Tang Fei.
