the best place to officially replace them would be the Air Force. The Army Air Core had became the The USAF in 1947. They would have his records on file. Check with the Air Force Veterans Association they can help.

Ask the administrative officer of the Air Force for the replacement of the medals.

Contact a military historian and find out which wings you need. Was he in the Army, Air Force, or Army Air Force? He wasn't Navy or Marines was he?
The all have their own separate historians, and each military installation usually has their own also.

Ask the WWII Glider Pilots Association, they would be a great place to start!

that's going to be difficult seeing as you are talking about an award that is no longer in production. your best bet would be to search for forums where people sell WWII artifacts, maybe contact the american legion or the VFW someone there might be able to help you.

you can meet the manufacturer of the missing wing to make replica but the original you will not get untill you know where it is because it is not lost but missing.

www.ebay.com they have a whole section of military insignia. You may have to watch to awhile, but they will show up eventually.
