What is the designation on the pre-war mechanics cap?

It is made out of hbt and snaps like a newsboy's cap.

Is it an A1 or an A2?

Does anyone have a photo?

Thanks.

From Vintage Flying Headgear, Mick Prodger, 1995, Pg 167

the first is an A-1 that has ear flaps that can be stowed inside the cap...and the second is an A-2 "newsboy" style, in what appears to be HBT.

Hope it helps...

John
