RAF Historical Society Journal
 

Found this whilst stumbling around the web: https://www.rafmuseum.org.uk/documen...Journal-52.pdf

Page 103 onwards - really interesting article called: "THE LAW, AND LORE, OF RAF FLYING BADGES" by Wg Cdr Jeff Jefford

Well worth a read for RAF badge collectors

Thanks for posting this, I'd come across iteither by chance googling or by following a link somewhere on the forum but I'd lost it, an interesting little article.

Excellent - thanks very much for posting.

Looks to be a very useful article - thank you
Mike

A very interesting article

I would also recommend the same author's book Observers and Navigators: And Other Non-Pilot Aircrew in the RFC, RNAS and RAF. which includes a great amount of detail on the origins of aircrew badges. Lots of copies available for moderate prices on Abe Books.

Jon - thanks - copy ordered
Naval and Military Press have copies of the updated version available at a slightly cheaper price
Mike

Thanks for the link, very interesting.
Cheers,
