World War II era fans of Flash Gordon could acquire this badge of wings, designating them a “Junior Air Warden.”
Mail in a cereal box top or a metal strip (like those from tins of Cocomalt, a Buck Rogers radio sponsor) with a little money, and a fan received a token of their special relationship with a space-faring hero. Or Flash Gordon admirers could join a fan club run by a newspaper or radio station. Premiums also included toys, maps, and books.
Collector Michael O'Harro donated this pin to the Museum in 1993.
