Period: Unknown
Canada: Trans Canada Airlines (TCA) was formed by the Canadian National Railways. They launched their first flight on September 1, 1937, between Vancouver and Seattle. Throughout the next 25 years, TCA became Canada's national airline, and on January 1, 1965, TCA changed their name to Air Canada. This hat was part of the uniform worn by female traffic and station personnel from 1953 to the end of 1965. In May, 1953, TCA introduced new uniforms for flight crew, flight attendants, traffic and station personnel in "TCA blue", which was somewhere between navy and royal. Fabric was dyed specifically for these uniforms. The uniform that went with this hat had a collarless, tailered jacket with three gilt TCA buttons, and a ground staff brevet. The straight skirt had two side pleats.
Function: Trans-Canada Air Lines' uniform.
