Add an iconic piece of World War II aviation history to your collection with this vintage U.S. Army Air Forces (USAAF) 3rd Air Force Patch. Crafted with classic flat cut-edge stitching, this circular patch displays high-density embroidery of the official 3rd Air Force insignia: a bold white numeral "3" with an integrated red trailing vector and the classic Army Air Forces star motif set inside a deep blue central disc, all framed on a golden-orange background field. Heavily involved in crew training and defense operations during WWII, this patch is ideal for A-2 leather flight jacket restorations, WWII USAAF uniform displays, military shadow boxes, and vintage aviation insignia collections.
