Chay,

Polish Air Force other ranks badges, the 2nd one for wear on the Forage Cap.

Not Pilots badges.

regards

There is a lot of information on WWII era Polish cap eagles in this thread on the War Relics Forum.

The first two are Air Force NCO's hat eagles, first one indeed British made and second one probable theater made (middle East/Italy/europe?) third one forage cap but also worn by the Polish Army.

That is the case, notwithstanding, the former were, on occasion, certainly worn by aircrew, including Pilots, on their Service Dress cap, as here, in this particular case, by the irrepressible Sergeant Popek.
