WW1 British Royal Flying Corps RFC Neck Tie

The WW1 British Royal Flying Corps (RFC) Neck Tie is a period military accessory worn by members of the Royal Flying Corps during the First World War. The RFC served as the air arm of the British Army from 1912 until its merger with the Royal Naval Air Service to form the Royal Air Force in April 1918. This neck tie typically features the classic colors and patterns associated with RFC regalia, designed to be worn with the uniform or during official functions. Materials used in original ties from this period are often silk or a silk blend, with construction reflecting early 20th-century tailoring techniques. The tie serves as a symbol of corps identity and is linked to the broader tradition of regimental and service neckwear in the British military. Items of this type are of interest to collectors of First World War uniforms and British military memorabilia.
