Apologies if a daft question to those that know, but would the Pink Crusher have been issued in England to 8th and 9th Airforce officers as well as the OD?
Absolutely. I have only ever seen the "pinks" style, as coming from the UK. This seemed to be mostly
done by rather "dapper" Officers in the ETO. Usually custom made from an original that had been
purchased in the States prior to deployment.
Took the plunge and got a pink crusher from Eastman.
Lovely cap, and not at all like Paddy's pic (thank goodness). I think I'll be giving it a good outing at a couple of renactor events over the next two weekends
The Flighter's from Diamond really are the business, lovely piece of kit.
