Red Shoulder Straps: World War II Era Icons Early versions made of wool felt attached atop the epaulets of Army Air Corps uniforms. Later versions made of thick cloth replaced the uniform's original epaulets altogether by opening the shoulder seem. Only worn from mid-1942 to February 1945, CAP's red shoulder straps may an indelible mark on history. |

Maroon Epaulet Circlets: Barry Board Beginnings For a very brief period during 1990, these small insignia were added to the Air Force service coat epaulets above the metal rank insignia already being worn. The circlets were then quickly replaced by the infamous maroon epaulet sleeves, available with or without Velcro. There is very little official documentation about them, except for instructions from the National CAP Bookstore. |
