The Story

Original Item. Only One Available. The Royal Canadian Air Force Women's Division was a non-combatant element of the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) which was active during the Second World War. The Women's Division's original role was to replace male air force personnel so that they would be available for combat-related duties. First called the Canadian Women's Auxiliary Air Force (CWAAF), the name changed to Royal Canadian Air Force Women's Division in February 1942. Women's Division personnel were commonly known as WDs.

This is a great service-worn cap for a female serving in the RCAF. The cap retains its RCAF hat badge and leather chinstrap held in by two RCAF buttons. The cap is a bit folded from being in storage for so long.

The interior retains the thin sweatband which is stamped:

PRINCIPAL HAT & CAP
Montreal - 1943
Size 20 ½

A great example, ready for further research and display.
