WW2 Canadian RCAF CANADA Other Ranks Nationality Titles Insignia Pair

The WW2 Canadian RCAF CANADA Other Ranks Nationality Titles Insignia Pair consists of two original cloth shoulder titles worn by enlisted personnel of the Royal Canadian Air Force during the Second World War. These insignia feature the word “CANADA” embroidered in white thread on a curved dark blue wool background, consistent with period RCAF uniform regulations. Such titles were sewn onto the upper sleeves of service dress and battledress uniforms to indicate both national identity and branch affiliation. The design and construction techniques reflect wartime manufacturing standards, including cut edge fabrication and utilitarian stitching. As national identifiers, these insignia played a crucial role in distinguishing Canadian airmen from other Commonwealth and Allied forces. This pair is representative of standard issue RCAF other ranks insignia used from 1939 to 1945 and remains a relevant item for collectors and researchers interested in Canadian military uniforms and insignia from the Second World War period.
