A series of Garrison (Overseas) Cap insignia were worn by airborne troops. The glider was to face forward regardless of the side of the cap on which it was worn. The original separate glider and parachute insignia were replaced by a common airborne insignia (para-glider)later in the war. Some of these had branch specific colors and others for general use of all branches.
