In mid 1945 PJI's were given honorary air crew status due to the fact that many had flown missions as air dispatchers, especially over Burma. The parachute half wing was introduced and worn from then on. The half wing example here was worn by Sgt 'Taff' Jones. Hand made versions were often worn in India.
