- For other uses, see brevet.
In the RAF, pilots wear the letters RAF in a wreath, surmounted by a crown, with a wing on each side (pilots' brevets are often referred to as "wings"). Other aircrew wear a letter or letters (denoting speciality) in a wreath, with a single wing. Aircrew brevets currently worn include N (Navigator), E (Air Engineer), LM (Air Loadmaster), AE (Air Electronics Operator), and FC (Fighter Controller). Parachute Jumping Instructors (PJIs) wear an open parachute instead of a letter.
