Navigator/Observer badge (below) represents the same eagle, but in gold with added lightning bolts. The gapa is worn in the usual place on the upper left breast above the pocket, but unlike other air forces it is suspended on a chain. It adorned the uniform of Polish Air Force officers in the RAF during World War II along with their RAF wings. In the combat version (for at least 7 flights in combat conditions) the badge has a green laurel wreath. </p> <table style="margin:auto; width:100%;"> <tbody><tr style="background:#ccc;"> <th>Badge</th> <th>Pilot</th> <th>Observer</th> <th> </th></tr> <tr> <td style="text-align:center;"><b><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:POL_Wojska_Lotnicze.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6d/POL_Wojska_Lotnicze.svg/50px-POL_Wojska_Lotnicze.svg.png" decoding="async" width="50" height="63" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6d/POL_Wojska_Lotnicze.svg/75px-POL_Wojska_Lotnicze.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6d/POL_Wojska_Lotnicze.svg/100px-POL_Wojska_Lotnicze.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="744" data-file-height="939" /></a></span><br />Air Forces</b> </td> <td style="text-align:center;"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Odznaka_pilota.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7d/Odznaka_pilota.jpg/150px-Odznaka_pilota.jpg" decoding="async" width="150" height="99" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7d/Odznaka_pilota.jpg/225px-Odznaka_pilota.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7d/Odznaka_pilota.jpg/300px-Odznaka_pilota.jpg 2x" data-file-width="786" data-file-height="520" /></a></span> </td> <td style="text-align:center;"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Odznaka_nawigatora.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7a/Odznaka_nawigatora.jpg/150px-Odznaka_nawigatora.jpg" decoding="async" width="150" height="105" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7a/Odznaka_nawigatora.jpg/225px-Odznaka_nawigatora.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7a/Odznaka_nawigatora.jpg/300px-Odznaka_nawigatora.jpg 2x" data-file-width="802" data-file-height="563" /></a></span> </td></tr> <tr> <td style="text-align:center;"> </td> <td style="text-align:center;"><a href="/wiki/Aviator" class="mw-redirect" title="Aviator">Pilot</a> </td> <td style="text-align:center;"><a href="/wiki/Air_observer" title="Air observer">Observer</a> </td></tr> <tr style="text-align:center;"> <td>Abbreviation</td> <td>pil.</td> <td>obs.</td> <td> </td></tr> <tr> <td colspan="8"> </td></tr></tbody></table> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="South_Africa">South Africa</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Aviator_badge&action=edit&section=21" title="Edit section: South Africa"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The current aviator badge of the <a href="/wiki/South_African_Air_Force" title="South African Air Force">South African Air Force</a> has been in use since 2002, when South Africa adopted a new coat of arms.
