Red Canoe - Royal Canadian Air Force Roundel Cap The RCAF heritage collection was designed in honour of the men and women who served — and who serve today — in the Royal Canadian Air Force. When the RCAF first started in 1924, they focused on civil air missions: forestry patrols, land surveys and anti-smuggling efforts. During WWII they peaked as one of the largest air forces in the world. A portion from the sale of RCAF products goes to support veterans. Double-layer felt appliqué. Imported.
