The \"80-day\" World War I collar disc refers to the rare Type 1 Aviation Section of the Signal Corps collar insignia, which was authorized for use for only about 80 days in 1918. [1]

Historical Background

Authorization: Requested by the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF) Chief of Air Service on April 18, 1918, and approved shortly after by the War Department. [1]
The 80-Day Window: Because military aviation was rapidly reorganizing and transitioning out of the Signal Corps into the separate U.S. Air Service, this specific disc design was official and legal to wear for a brief window of roughly 80 days before being superseded.
