Hi Steve, I had a power cut whilst typing. Here is the picture. You will also need officers rank bars on the shoulder. The metal insignia is identical on both left and right side of the jacket.
That looks very nice Douglas, are the bars too available, and this the rank the same as your example.

Hi Steve, I will get the propellers in the post today. You have a choice of officers bars, Junior officers wear one gold bar (2nd Lt), one silver bar (1st Lt) or a double silver bar (Captain) as shown here. If you go for silver bars they should be made of sterling silver, postwar ones are not. I have generally been able to get these sort of things on ebay without spending a great deal.
Brilliant, must say the twin bar looks the part, and a massive thank you once again.
Very Nice tunic Steve
I love the AAF stuff!!
Officers had to buy their uniforms, so you will find that they are made by tailor shops.
Douglas is correct about what he suggested looking for. Good luck in your search. The items can be found at a decent price on ebay if your patient.
