Sajkaca Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Thanks, many more in the beautiful book "Uniforma Rossiiskogo Voennogo Vozdushnogo Flota" Tom 1 (1890-1935), publisher Fond Russkie Vityazi, Moscow 2004.

Sajkaca Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 One interesting detail. Service side cap "pilotka" was introduced in 1914 only for the Imperial Russian airmen, black with red piping, and silver lace for officers. However, this type of cap won the fame with Red Army in WW2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck In Oregon Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Now something very interesting. Meet aviator Pavlov Ivan Ulianovich and his owl Wow! Do you really own this? What's the story behind it? It's one of the best WW I historical aviation militaria pieces I've ever seen. It's a stunner and would certainly be a center piece of my, and most, collections.

Sajkaca Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Only those who immigrated As a matter of fact St. George cross was also worn by the officers who joined the Red Army. There were few very nice articles on the subject in the beautiful Russian magazine Zeughaus. I will find and post some of them when I dig them out in my archive.

JapanX Posted August 26, 2013 Author Share Posted August 26, 2013 (edited) Yes, but only after 1943. You will find many examples in this thread http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/20392-a-different-kind-of-full-cavalier/page-5 But in 20s, 30s and early 40s? No chance! ;) Edited August 26, 2013 by JapanX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
