Appearance
The Silver Wing medal is made of silver colored metal. The design consists of a pair of silver wings sweeping from the bottom of the medal, nearly to the top. Between the tips of the two wings are three five-pointed stars in relief superimposed on two chevrons, one below the other. Centered on the medal is a paratrooper helmet in relief placed above three arched bands at the base of the wings.[1]
The ribbon is white with a red central stripe, edged in yellow, and blue edges on each side.[2]
