Badges and Uniforms of the Royal Air Force by Malcolm C. Hobart
Requirements: MOBI/ePUB reader, 6.88 MB
Overview: For military buffs, the uniforms and insignia of the Royal Air Force have tended to be overshadowed by study of the camouflage schemes and markings of their aircraft. Nevertheless the uniforms of the Service have been many and varied, and played an important role in giving the RAF its own identity in 1917 when it became the world’s first independent air arm.
This detailed study covers both the daily dress and the flying suits of all grades of RAF personnel, as well as bandsmen and the Royal Air Force Regiment, the RAF’s own mechanised infantry arm. In addition to the regular RAF, this volume illustrates the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force, various reserve units, and the doughty Royal Observer Corps, civilian volunteers who played a key role in the Battle of Britain (the title "Royal" isn’t given out lightly). Full color illustrations cover not only insignia of rank but the various specialist badges so important to a high-tech branch of service.
