What about this (possibly) unauthorised / unofficial headgear?
Here is my dad at the start of training at Prince Edward Island. An LAC having volunteered and recently transferred from the Royal Artillery and sent to Canada on the BCATP.

On the September 1941 course at 32 Air Navigation School, Charlottetown, PEI. Rear row, fourth from left.

In 1942 having qualified as an observer and promoted to Serjeant. Wearing the half-wing Observer badge.
