Red Aiguillette was initiated by Air Marshal Phraya
Chalermakas (Sunee Suwanprateep) to alleviate frequent crash and loss of many pilots causing
apprehension among prospective pilots and parents.
Air Marshal Phraya Chalermakas made certain that aviator went
through meticulous trainings, with all capability and technique of a fighter
pilot. Incentive was added to pilot salary for the perilous duty. Fighter pilot
uniform became more dignified : Russian trousers with a semi-breeches type cut,
aviator boots, Aviator wing, and the “Red Aiguillette” exclusive for the
fighter pilot – the pride adorn with the uniform.
Being a “Red Aiguillette” fighter pilot became an
inspirational and earnest wish of Thai lads of the era, albeit the solution to
the scarcity of fighter pilot.
