Campaign Air Operations over Europe Dates 3 Sep 1939 - 5 Jun 1944 Ribbon A wide central stripe of light blue, flanked at the edges by narrow stripes of yellow and black to symbolise the continuous service of the Air Forces by night and day. Criteria The Air Crew Europe Star was earned almost exclusively by RAF personnel. Can only be awarded after the 1939-45 Star has been qualified for. Aircrew Europe Star awarded for 60 additional days' service in an RAF Unit engaged in operational flying over Europe from bases in the UK with at least one operational sortie. After 5 Jun 44, operational flying over Europe qualified aircrew for the France and Germany Star. Campaign History The strategic bombing campaign against German industrial cities, military installations, and a wide variety of other targets continued throughout the War and made a decisive contribution to Allied victory. The RAF endured significant loses of both men and aircraft but by the end of the War the campaign had severely curtailed German industrial production and virtually immobilised her military power.

About Us

First founded in 1965, E. C. Snaith at first was a dedicated Royal Air Force supplier. Since then it has branched out to become military outfitters & tailors to the entirety of the UK Armed Forces selling uniforms, uniform accessories & equipment online to the consumer and to the trade.

Since 2004 it has been part of the Firmin House group along with Kashket and Partners, military tailors, and Firmin & Sons, button and badge makers, armourers and sword cutlers. The oldest part of the group has been continuously manufacturing in the United Kingdom since 1685 making it one of the country’s oldest manufacturers and suppliers.

Unlike many direct sale companies this means we understand manufacturing and product development, not just selling. If there is anything you can't find, or even something entirely new, please do get in touch. We'll be happy to develop a bespoke product with you.
