Photograph of an aircraftsman called John

Editor's Comment: Unidentified aircraftsman in the Plastron fronted ('Maternity') jacket of the Royal Flying Corps, with Royal Flying Corps embroidered shoulder titles. The hat, however, is a 1918 pattern Royal Air Force cap. In the early years of the Royal Air Force, such a mixture of old and new uniform was not uncommon.

编者按：画面中是一名身份不明的皇家飞行队（Royal Flying Corps）机组成员，身着带有胸盾式前襟的"孕妇款"皇家飞行队夹克，肩部带有刺绣的皇家飞行队肩章。但其佩戴的军帽却是1918年式皇家空军（Royal Air Force）军帽。在皇家空军创立初期，这种新旧制服混搭的情形并不少见。
