Senior Aeroflot officers had the "scrambled eggs" in metal on the brim, like this cap.

The hardware is not original, if it is a 58 cap; it should be made of brass, not aluminum. Marc |

The Cap
The aeroflot cap is now starting bid... $75!!!!!!!!!???????!!!!!!!!! Wow from $9 to 75 in less than 1 week.
New description: Stamped 58 inside. Aeroflot Cap These caps were worn by workers and supervisors of the USSR Civil Aviation fleet - or Aeroflot, the Soviet Union's national airline. Although of course its main peacetime mission is moving civilian passengers and freight throughout the USSR and overseas, Aeroflot has also always had a close relationship to the Soviet Air Force (VVS) - flying many transport missions in direct support of the Air Force (like delivering arms to overseas customers) and with many former Air Force personnel on staff. In fact, during its early days, Aeroflot was a militarized organization, with military style ranks. For example, senior officers would be identified as "Generals of Civil Aviation", with lesser ones identified as "Colonels of Civil Aviation" or "Lieutenants of Civil Aviation" and the like. Following Stalin's death, as part of a USSR-wide drive to "civilianize" government ministries, Aeroflot lost its military sounding ranks and all personnel were identified merely by position and "category". Although some changes were made over the years to this categorization system, over most of the later years Aeroflot "ranks" broke out like this: the highest categories #12-16 (general officer equivalent), senior #9-11 (field grade officer equivalent), middle #5-8 (company grade officer equivalent) and junior #1-4 (soldier and sergeant equivalent). Scarce: Which means is occasionally seen or offered, but may be difficult to find in US due to limited sources. Well, I guess he did research on under the red star...;) |
