Royal Netherlands Air Force Side Cap

The Royal Netherlands Air Force (RNLAF) Woolen side cap is a historical military headgear worn by members of the Royal Netherlands Air Force. Although the modern air force now uses the gray-blue beret, the woolen side cap remains a sought-after item for collectors and vintage uniform enthusiasts.
