rathbonemuseum Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Hi, I thought I would move some images and postings that were buried in another thread into a new one for ease of search. I will start the thread with a Brazilian Air Force dress belt and sword. Please contribute what you have to this thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rathbonemuseum Posted April 21, 2012 Author Share Posted April 21, 2012 Thanks to Ricardo Nácul, we have this great photo of Brigadier General Nero Moura, WWII veteran, wearing what I assume is the air force sword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliozary Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 As a promissed, I will start to put my BAF stuffs here. First of all, a flying helmet ww2 period from Brazilian Air Force. It is US made, but there is a little word on both headphones (FAB in white). Brazilian pilots flew P47 in Italy, and P36, P40 and Catalinas in Brazil.

juliozary Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 This is a diploma of the Order of the Fole. It`s not a BAF item, but is WW2 Air Force related. This Order was a kind of war bonus, in which people raised funds that were passed to RAF to buy Spitfires during the war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliozary Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 This is a 1941 model of the Pilot`s badge. It was common the pilots use this black backdrop on badge`s back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliozary Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 This is a 1947 pilot`s badge model. The difference is the addition of the name of the country: ESTADOS UNIDOS DO BRASIL (UNITED STATES OS BRAZIL). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliozary Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 This is the 1968 model, when the name of the country changed to REPUBLICA FEDERATIVA DO BRASIL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
