British pilots trained at NAS Pensacola
Hi all,
I would like to ask two questions regarding the training of British (RAF+FAA) pilots at NAS Pensacola, Florida:
1. when they graduated, did they obtain the metal US Naval Aviator badge and were they entitlet to the RAF wings too? Or they got the RAF wings only? If they got both, were they allowed to wear both of them at the same time - the RAF wings above the left breats pocted and the US one for example on the right breast?
2. Does anybody have access to this publication and would be so kind to check for me if there are also British graduatees or the US only?
The 1943 Flight Jacket, Mark II Edition, USN Air Training Center, Pensacola, Florida. Cover: Flight Jacket, 1943, Mark II. A. A. Carlson, ed. Air Cadet Battalion NAS, Pensacola, publisher. N.p., 1943. 227 pp. plus advertising section, cream and brown hardcover with blue printing, 31.3 x 23.8 cm, photos, ports., roster. PNAM.
If there are also British, I will be interested in one particular name to check.
TIA
Pavel
