Item History
The Air Training Corps was officially established by Royal Warrant in 1941 during World War II to provide aviation training to young men preparing to enter service with the Royal Air Force. This distinctive white metal circular pattern badge has been worn proudly on the uniform berets and forage caps of ATC cadets and instructors across the UK for decades, remaining a classic symbol of British aviation heritage.
