Are these airborne patches WWII or post? Same question goes for the 5th air force patch. What is the wing patch and period?

Next are the two pins. Any info would be appreciated as I've never seen anything like them before.

with the extra twill edging on them I think of these as 1950s patches. The 5th is more like ww2 example, with the white back threads.

Bob. airborne paths post war up to 1960s (depending on maker). 5th a.f. looks like ww2.
next is a "non military badge "(patch); for a bush pilot... female bush. some were created in the late viet nam war , ussually helicopter units. most are post era made.
stamped badge looks to be any navy type sweetheart pin. assume us , or british (maybe).
cast badge ,most likely a fantasy pin. But ,the outer leaves & the casting look similar to "in country" type in viet nam. does seem to have good details, which is a plus.
I have a navy badge similar style to this for a guy in a see bee unit. it was cast from silver coins; different art of course , but leaves same style.
