Hey PlanoPiper,
That's what my father was, a Flying Sergeant in the RAF. He and his buddies speculated that they might be made RAF officers, but it never happened.
When the Army Air Corps finally arrived in England they were transferred to the Army Air Corps as 2nd Lts with a whopping pay increase.
Have thought about maybe getting one of those Air Force kilt pins to commemorate his dual service...but there wasn't an Air Force back then and combining the Army pin with the RAF kilt seems a stretch...
