I think this is interesting- it's a late '40's (I think) Luxenberg USAF hat that's a blend between the two styles. Luxenberg made some of the finest WWII crush caps and this retains many of the features- backstrap and smaller cover, while using thew new design- stiff brim, solid peak, etc.
And next to two WWII crush caps- a Dobbs on the left, Lewis on the right:
AND in comparison with the regular issue caps, The USAF is a Bancroft "Pac-Cap" Unissued from 1956, the Felt WWII is from Saxs Fith Ave.
