Custom Italian Air Force (Aeronautica Militare) Pilot Wings name tag.
Pilota Militare — Italian Air Force wings, name tag style.
The Italian Air Force — Aeronautica Militare — is one of the oldest independent air forces in the world, founded on March 28, 1923 as the Regia Aeronautica ("Royal Air Force") under King Victor Emmanuel III, and renamed Aeronautica Militare in 1946 when Italy became a republic. The wings of the Italian military pilot — the "Pilota Militare" badge — descend directly from the Regia Aeronautica's distinctive copper-alloy gold-plated eagle-and-crown design worn by World War II Italian fighter and bomber pilots, and from the same lineage as the badge worn by 2nd Lt. Felice Figus of the 53rd Stormo, who earned his pilot's license at Elmas airport in Sardinia. The modern Aeronautica Militare runs a multi-phase pilot pipeline that includes Phase 1 academic training at the Accademia Aeronautica in Pozzuoli, basic and advanced flight training at the Italian Air Force flying schools at Latina and Lecce-Galatina, and lead-in fighter training in the M-346 Master jet trainer at the International Flight Training School (IFTS) — a partnership with Leonardo that now trains pilots from across NATO and partner air forces. The Pilota Militare badge is the Italian equivalent of the U.S. Wings of Gold or Air Force Pilot Wings, and a name tag set built around it is a high-touch piece of personal kit. Whether you're a partner-nation pilot completing IFTS, an Italian-American military aviator with family ties to the Aeronautica Militare, or a flight gear collector who appreciates allied aviation heritage, this name tag carries the wings.
Perfect For: Italian Air Force pilots and crews, Aeronautica Militare alumni, IFTS / NATO Flying Training in Italy graduates, Italian-American military aviators, partner-nation pilots flying with Italian squadrons, and allied aviation insignia collectors.

If you want to swap patches on/off gear, choose hook & loop (velcro). If you’re attaching permanently to uniforms or fabric, choose sew-on. If you want quick application on compatible fabric, choose iron-on / heat seal (when offered). Backing options are shown on the page and update based on the variant you select.
Size is shown on the product page and updates with the variant you select (example: 3"). If you’re mounting on a hat or small panel, choose smaller sizes; for plate carriers and display boards, larger sizes fit better.
If the product is officially licensed, it will say “Officially Licensed” in the title and/or in the product details. If it doesn’t, it’s still a legitimate product—just not part of a licensed program.
