It is quite attractive; I'm with Doug on that.

1950s? I think not...

However, I can't seem to understand the pattern identity of the cap itself with it's unpiped crown and band. Also, the visor is (or seems to be) constructed of the same material as the cap's body, with a stiffener. It could very well be a "run-of-the-mill" civilian type of cap with insignia and a chinstrap simply applied. I'm sure that in those times such a practice was indeed the case in more than a few instances.

Then again, this early Civil Aviation stuff IS quite interesting, but little to no English language info seems to exist, and I have made little to no attempt to research it.

I'll ask around though, and if any clues surface, I'll be sure and post them ASAP.

Doug asked for photos, and this is the only one I have, pre-war. It is dated 1941.

A close up of a cockarde:

My scanner was warmed up and my copy of the cockarde book was handy. I have scanned the page that concerns the period that we are discussing.

It would be very interesting to learn more about the rarely discussed subject of Civil Aviation uniforms.

Doug, if you do not mind, when you post the new images, kindly include a few detailed shots of the attributes which you see fit to be worthy of close observation. They would help considerably for research's sake.


Thanks!:cheers
