WW2 Canadian RCAF Aylmer Instructors Smock C Broad Arrowed Mint

The WW2 Canadian RCAF Aylmer Instructors Smock is a rare example of wartime Royal Canadian Air Force issue clothing, specifically produced for instructor personnel stationed at the Aylmer training facility in Ontario. This smock is constructed from durable blue-grey wool, consistent with period specifications, and exhibits a C broad arrow stamp, denoting Canadian military property and government issue. The design incorporates a button-up front, two large chest pockets, and a belted waist for a secure fit. Distinctive features include reinforced elbows and secure cuffs, intended to withstand the demands of training environments. The garment remains in mint condition, with original buttons, stitching, and fabric preserved. Smocks of this type were issued to instructors overseeing the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan, making them significant artifacts from the RCAF’s contribution to wartime training efforts. The C broad arrow mark authenticates its origin and use within the Canadian military during the Second World War.
