* In both the film and the book of ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'', the Gondorian Guard are depicted as having helmets with integral symbolic wings. The soldiers' version has the wings crafted as an integral part of the helmet shell rather than protruding; but the Crown of Gondor worn by the King has fully-fledged wings like a bird in flight.

** The elite assault tropes and characters of the Blood Angels Chapter of [[SuperSoldier Adeptus Astartes]] often decorate their [[JetPack jump packs]] with large angelic wings in imitation of the mighty pinions of their [[SuperPrototype Primarch]], the [[WingedHumanoid Great Angel Sanguinius]]. The angelic image that these wings give these mighty warriors greatly boosts the moral of their allies and strikes fear in the heart of their enemies.

** The picture depicts the hussars' wings incorrectly, and they did indeed have a function. The 'wings' were actually numerous large feathers tied with cord to a double wooden frame starting from the wearer's waist and arching along the back, ending in a forward curl above the hussar's head. In a full gallop, the resulting wind through the feathers would create a buzzing or rumbling noise. Multiply that noise times hundreds or even thousands of riders, and you can imagine what a frightening din that would sound like to the enemy.
