ARTIFACT:
Rare and beautiful circa 1959 United States Air Force 32nd Fighter-Interceptor Squadron patch in bullion and silk embroidery, probably made in Netherlands. The patch features intricate embroidery that depicts the squadron's emblem of a wolf caricature surrounded with a wreath embellished with bullion and topped with a royal crown. The base of the wreath bears a small bullion oval with details that read: "32" and the base of the patch shows a golden yellow banner lined in bullion and it reads: "FTR. INTCPT. SQDN. (USAF)". In 1959, the 32nd Fighter-Interceptor Squadron received the signature "Royal" and with this the House of Orange - The Dutch Royal Family's crown and wreath were added to the emblem. The Royal signature was given to honor and recognize the vital contribution to the defense of The Netherlands the 32nd Fighter-Inceptor Squadron provided.
