Re: US Overseas/Garrison Cap
Thanks,by AmericanKraut
I think I'll go with that, the winged collar brass as in the photo above, as it seems USAAF EM usually wore no metal insignia like AZPhil's photo, but quite a few wore DUI cloth patches, glider troops etc.
Thanks to everybody for their help.

Re: US Overseas/Garrison Cap
Anyone know of any good books on ww2 garrison caps as i would like a few but dont have a clue where to start?..Jake.
Re: US Overseas/Garrison Cap
OK, this is what I've done. I got hold of a collar badge, and an Officer's braided cap, so now hopefully everything is correct. If not, let me know. I've put a pre WW2 unmarked Captains bars on my new cap, and taken a few shots in decent light to compare EM and Officers USAAF braid.
Best Regards,
Andy

Re: US Overseas/Garrison Cap
Nice caps I love the pre-war captain bars!!!
Re: US Overseas/Garrison Cap
Thanks!
I was lucky enough to have the bars in a job lot of buttons and stuff for not too much money.
Best Regards,
