SINGLE lealer Visor Bill, known for its lightweight design and iconic "crushed" appearance. This type of cap is featured prominently in Apple TV's show "Masters of the Air".

have the Patent Number on the sweatband and is therefore a guaranteed WW2-era
piece. Bancroft filed for a patent on their design on May 12, 1943. The
patent, number 2,369,275, was granted on February 13, 1945. Caps that display
the patent number under the Flighter logo on the sweatband are generally
considered post-war caps.
This cap was only
lightly worn, and despite some scattered wear, it remains an extremely fine
display piece, epitomizing the WWII "bomber pilot" look. Fit
71/2 size fat head as mine. In excellent condition. As found condition. please
