Anyone recognize this airline logo?
Hello all,
First, I hope this is the right place for this. If not, could a moderator relocate the thread? Sorry for any trouble.
Anyways, this probably seems like an elementary question, but can someone ID the airline these wings belong to (link at end)? I got them at an estate for a former FAA Medical Examiner. They are really large and look cool, but I'm curious what airline this might be. And any idea of the age, given the logo? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The two-triangle insignia in the oval below the star looks like Allegheny's.
You can visit http://www.departedflights.com to see old Allegheny advertisements and timetables.

Yep those are Allegheny pilot wings. They are very similar to the current ones. Can you post a pic of the aircraft model?

By the cabin entry to many US aircraft today are the logos of the components that make up today's US Airways: Allegheny (overlapping triangles), Pacific Southwest, Piedmont, maybe one more? Mohawk? Anyone else recall?

I remember seeing PSA, with the "smiley face" and piedmont with "speedwings", but can't recall the others.

Mohawk, which began its life as the Ithaca-based Robinson Aviation, was certainly one of US Airways' ancestors. Mohawk was taken over by Allegheny in 1972.
