SAAF Navigator's BD blouse and crush cap
 
8 Attachment(s)
In the due time I have put together a nice uniforms lot. After having won on an auction a WW2 SAAF crush cap, I have decided that it could go with a SAAF Lieutenant's Navigator's/Observer's USA made War Aid BD blouse, dated 1943, I had also found for sale on the web. I would not say that the operation has been financially painless, but still is a couple of items that go fairly well together and nice to look at. The up swept Navigator's/Observer's half wing, technically the only SAAF indicator on the BD blouse, seems to be pretty genuine to me: what's your opinion, gents?
