USAAF CBI 7TH FIGHTER SQUADRON BREAST PATCH
The USAAF CBI 7th Fighter Squadron Breast Patch is a meticulously crafted reproduction of an extremely rare and historically significant squadron patch. The 7th Fighter Squadron, part of the 23rd Fighter Group, was activated in January 1941 and played a crucial role in the China-Burma-India (CBI) Theater during World War II. Initially operating from Australia, the squadron flew the formidable Curtiss P-40 Warhawk until September 1942, before transitioning to the powerful Lockheed P-38 Lightning later in the war.
This patch is a faithful recreation of the original design, maintaining its vibrant multi-colored embroidery and distinct wartime insignia. With a five-inch diameter, it is perfectly sized for display on an A-2 leather flight jacket, making it an essential piece for aviation history enthusiasts, collectors, and reenactors. Offer is for patch only. Jacket is for illustration only.
Constructed from the highest quality materials, this reproduction captures the spirit and legacy of one of the most distinguished fighter squadrons in the Pacific Theater. Authentic original patches from the era are nearly impossible to find, making this an exceptional opportunity to own a piece of World War II aviation history.
