The t-shirt had always been worn as an under garment, but during WW1 soldiers would write their unit names on them, and the modern printed t-shirt was born! This continued in WW2, when services or units would have t-shirts printed to build 'espirt de corps'. This is a great example dating to the pre to early war period when the before the Air Corps changed their name to Air Force.
Condition
For an 80 year old t-shirt this is in beautiful shape and seems only lightly used. There is a seam thats been stitched near the left armpit, it appears to be factory done so could be manufacturing mishap, or a very well done repair.
