SUPERB Genuine WW2 era PILOT'S WINGS on Royal NEW ZEALAND Air Force P/O's Tunic

This PILOT OFFICER's uniform tunic has been in a friend's collection for nearly 45 years, it was obtained from the original WW2 owner, who sadly now long-deceased. The BLACK backed "New Zealand" shoulder titles seen on this tunic were what was issued "domestically" by the Royal New Zealand Air Force or R. The wings are an EARLY WW2 type. All buttons and insignia on this tunic are 100% ORIGINAL to its wartime wear by the RNZAF pilot who owned it.

There are no medal ribbons because these were not issued until well-after the cesation of hostilities in WW2. There is a very SMALL "moth nip" beneath the shoulder title shown in image # 5 otherwise this uniform can be described as near pristine.

The Royal New Zealand Air Force was the SMALLEST Air Force in the British Commonwealth during WW2 yet despite this?? The COMMANDER that most attribute the final VICTORY of the RAF over the Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain was ALSO a New Zealander =. Air Chief Marshal Sir Keith Rodney Park, GCB, KBE, MC & Bar, DFC was a New Zealand soldier, First World War flying ace and Second World War Royal Air Force commander.

These IMAGES ARE the most IMPORTANT part of my item's CONDITION DESCRIPTION So if I have failed to show anything clearly? Any questions please MESSAGE ME.
