Original Item. Only One Pair Available. The Royal Air Force (RAF) played a central role in the defense of Britain and in the fight against the Axis powers during the Second World War. The RAF was divided into three main commands: Fighter Command, Bomber Command and Coastal Command, each of which had specific tasks and areas of responsibility. Fighter Command was responsible for the defense of British airspace and played a key role in countering the German Luftwaffe during the Battle of Britain. Bomber Command was responsible for strategic bombing raids on enemy infrastructure, industrial plants and cities, while Coastal Command was responsible for securing the sea lanes and fighting German submarines and ships. In addition to the operational units, the RAF relied on a complex network of support and training facilities. Flying schools, technical depots and logistics units ensured that the force was always combat-ready.

This is a very nice pair of RAF Royal Air Force overseas caps from World War II.

The first cap is a Canadian RCAF overseas cap, for the Royal Canadian Air Force. There is an RCAF badge to the side, with two RCAF buttons on the front. This example has a worn maker’s mark with a size in the middle, 7 ¼. A good example with very minor mothing.

The second cap is a British RAF cap with a set of eagle’s pilots wings with a crown over it on the side of the cap and two RAF buttons to the front. This example would be meant for an officer, with a lovely velvet sweatband inside.

A good pair of rare caps, ready for display.
