Volunteers from Tanganyika did serve with the RAF under the Empire Air Training Scheme during WWII, with their flying training typically done in Southern Rhodesia. White colonists from Tanganyika and Zanzibar volunteered for the RAF, with training conducted in Rhodesia. There was very little RAF activity within Tanganyika itself beyond a few stopover airstrips and RAF Tabora. The number of Tanganyikans actually serving in RAF uniform was therefore tiny compared with Canadians, Australians, South Africans or even Rhodesians, which explains why this title is genuinely rare especially as this is a worn removed from uniform example not one leftover after the war unissued  in a tailors box.
