Trivia

• In the USSR (CCCP), the garrison cap was known as a "Template:W", from "pilot" — the cap was a part of air force pilots' uniform in World War I. They were the most common type of hat in the WWII Red Army and were used in the summer instead of the Template:W worn in the winter.

• The Pilotka was not only worn by the USSR (CCCP); it is also known as the Side Cap and is worn in Canada, France, Norway, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom, United States and Yugoslavia.
