USAAF 76TH FIS/AVG SHOULDER PATCH
This high-quality reproduction patch honors the historic legacy of the 76th Fighter Squadron, originally part of the legendary American Volunteer Group (AVG), famously known as the "Flying Tigers."

This modern reproduction patch measures 5 inches in height and features the iconic insignia proudly worn by members of the squadron. It's perfect for collectors, history enthusiasts, or as a standout piece on a flying jacket or flight suit. Excellent new condition. All items sold are 100% guaranteed.
