On April 1, 1918, the Royal Air Force (RAF) was formed with the amalgamation of the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) and the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS). This reproduction badge is the first pattern badge worn by NCOs (Non Commissioned Officers) and was replaced soon after with the metal RAF badge.
Perfect for:
- displaying with painting/photographs
- cap and hat restorers & replicators
- RAF collectors
- Reenactors and living history
- military badge collectors
- gifts and commemorations
