Default Amphigarious officers and brevet worn?

Hi there guys

I notice in previous threads that Amphigarious officers wore a distinctive hat badge during the 1930-36 period. Since they were aviators, what brevet (wings) did they wear? Would they have worn the normal SAAF brevet or was there a special brevet like maybe, an AOP style brevet?

Kind regards

Doug

Thanks Marc

What I was after was what brevet (wings) they wore on the LHS of their chest.

Regards

Doug

I think it would have been the standard air force pilots wing at this time.
cheers,

Hi milhistry
That's a great link, thanks. First time I've seen a photo of an amphigarious badge being worn.
