Aircrew IV, by one star within thelaurel wreath. Aircrew Cadet, by the laurel wreathand eagle. An additional note of colour is pro-vided by the use of red silk in the Royal Arms worn by master aircrew and inthe Crown worn by Aircrew I. Mastet aircrew will wear their badgeson the lower sleeves, in the same position as the warrant officer's badge is worn;the other badges will be worn on the upper sleeves in place of rank chevrons.With the exception of pilots and navi- gators (all of whom are in Group A) air-crew are being divided temporarily into two groups, known as A and B, duringthe period of transition before it becomes possible to change over completely tothe new categories. Gener- ally speaking those in theGroup B categories of sig- naller, engineer and gunnerwill have been trained to a lower degree of technicalskill than those in Group A, and the difference in theirgrading will be shown by the stars in their rank badges,those from Group A being embroidered in blue andthose for Group B in silver. Xo aircrew category dif-ferences are indicated in the badges and these will con-tinue to be shown as at pre- sent, by the pilot's wingsand the single wings.
