U.S. WWII TROPICAL OFFICERS 50 MISSION CAP.

The caps that were folded and formed by the aviators are commonly known as the 50 Mission cap, this is a classic example. Tropical version, light tan material, standard woven removable centre band, American eagle gilded badge which has some green oxidisation. Minor staining to the body of the cap and some shredding to the material on the reverse side. Soft leather crushable peak. Standard wide chinstrap with its full leather lining. Just below the waterproof upper inner lining is the trademark of a Los Angeles Beverley Hills retailer. Stamped to the leather lining is the registered ‘Airflow’ trademark. Although some of the material is shredded and is lightly stained this cap has great appeal.
