WW2 Canadian RCAF CANADA Officer’s Shoulder Title Insignia Single

The WW2 Canadian RCAF CANADA Officer’s Shoulder Title Insignia Single is an original uniform insignia worn by officers of the Royal Canadian Air Force during the Second World War. This shoulder title consists of a fabric arc, typically constructed from dark blue wool, with “CANADA” embroidered in light-colored thread—often white or light blue. It was designed to be sewn onto the upper sleeve of the service tunic or battledress blouse, distinguishing Canadian personnel serving within the British Commonwealth air forces. The use of such national identification shoulder titles became widespread among Commonwealth forces to denote country of origin and foster unit identity. Dimensions and stitching may vary slightly due to wartime production by multiple manufacturers. This single insignia represents a piece of uniform from the 1939-1945 period and reflects the standardized practices adopted by Canadian military forces in coalition efforts. It is intended for collectors, historians, or those studying WWII-era Canadian military uniforms and insignia.
