Image From Wikipedia: Leading Aircraftman (LAC) is a rank in some air forces, between Aircraftman and Senior Aircraftman and having a NATO rank code of OR-2. The rank badge is a horizontal two-bladed propeller...The rank originated in the Royal Air Force, when it was formed in 1918. Source: www.abheritage.ca/flyboys/homefront/uniforms.htm "Upon enlisting in the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan(BCATP), each airman and airwoman received the classification of Leading Aircraftman (LAC) and Leading Aircraftwoman (LAW). This was displayed on their uniform by the propeller badge worn on both shoulders. Once trained in a specialized capacity, each trainee would receive a new classification and a new badge to display this. Airmen were granted their Wings in graduation ceremonies and often rushed back to the barracks to stitch the badge on to the uniform. Wing badges were worn on jackets on the left side over the chest." "It was not until Canadian airmen served overseas in World War II that a shoulder badge was worn officially. The badge read "Canada" and was worn to show one's nationality. Each component of the uniform was to comply with regulation and this badge was no exception. The top of it was to be worn 3/4 of an inch below the shoulder seam. Airmen and airwomen were required to wear this on both shoulders of all jackets except for overcoats, officers' mess jackets and bandsmen's dress jackets."
