The letters ATS could mean Air Transport Squadron or Section. The letters NEI stand in my opinion for Netherlands East Indies. The colours red, white and blue are those of the Dutch national flag. The metal badge is I think for a garrison cap. The ALAT school is based at Dax and forms the primary schooling for helicopter pilots. IDENTIFIED on by Michael Annicaert -It's a French badge from the Ecole de spécialisation de l'Aviation Légère de L'Armée de Terre (translation: Light Aviation Specialisation School from the French Army).

It was found in amongst the contributor's late father’s RAAF badges and insignias. IDENTIFIED on by Robert Egeric -It's a Slovak sport association badge. Possibly a Chinese Air Force Flight Engineer / Crew Chief wing? Input is welcome. The buttons are standard French Air Force buttons. Flying personnel have the same device but with a star. This insignia was instituted in the 1930s and still in use today. IDENTIFIED on by Tod Ratbhone - The winged gear is a French Air Force (armée de l'air) branch of service device denoting mechanic personnel. The buttons are made in Paris by two different manufacturers, the smaller are 16mm and the larger 21mm.
