Trans Canada Airlines (TCA) was formed by the Canadian National Railways. They launched their first flight on September 1, 1937, between Vancouver and Seattle. Throughout the next 25 years, TCA became Canada's national airline, and on January 1, 1965, TCA changed their name to Air Canada. This particular uniform was issued by TCA between 1953 -1963. The pencil slim uniform was navy blue for winter and a Venetian cloth sky TCA blue for summer. The jacket featured wing lapels with a TCA pin on the left. The white sharkskin blouse was tucked in with short sleeves, a roll collar and bone buttons. The "head hugging" hat had a TCA pin and also a hat pin to secure it to the hair. The uniform was completed with a pair of white gloves. Jacket & skirt belonged to Ms. G. Smit (C92153); Cap and blouse is unknown. - Function
