For sale is a WW2 period (1942-1946) badge issued by the USAAF (United Stated Army Air Forces) Technical Training Command.

The Air Training Command was in operation from 1942 until 1946.

This badge displays the three feathers, each representing the three components of the USAAF: the Air Corps, Aircrew and Ground Crew. Their motto SUSTINEO ALAS could be roughly translated as 'I Sustain the Wings' or more commonly known then as "keep 'em flying".
