Constructed of khaki cotton twill, this World War II era U.S. Army Air Forces flight officer/enlisted overseas garrison cap features distinct ultramarine blue and golden orange piped trim along the curtain fold. The interior sweatband displays ink-stamped markings including "2H1878-C" along with hand-written laundry marks ("H 1878") and a size indication of "6 7/8". Measures 11 inches long by 5 inches tall when laid flat Light, honest wear appears throughout, consistent with period service, including minor surface soil and faint discoloration to the inner band. Fabric, piping, and stitching remain intact. A well-marked example of WWII USAAF headgear that presents excellent historical appeal for militaria collectors and aviation displays.
