Canadian RCAF LAC Rank Insignia Pair

This item consists of a matched pair of Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) Leading Aircraftman (LAC) rank insignia. These insignia were worn by enlisted personnel at the LAC rank in the RCAF, signifying their position just above Aircraftman. Each insignia typically features a single propeller-in-flight motif, embroidered in light blue or white thread on a dark blue or black wool backing, though minor variations exist depending on period and manufacturer. The insignia would be sewn onto the uniform sleeves. The LAC rank was used during the Second World War era and subsequent years, making these items relevant for collectors of Canadian military memorabilia or those conducting research on RCAF uniforms. The pair is representative of standard issue insignia rather than any specific individual or campaign, offering a typical example of wartime and postwar rank distinctions within the RCAF enlisted ranks.
