ARTIFACT:
Extremely rare and possibly unique United States Navy SACO (OSS) Chinese-made jacket patch. SACO (Sino-American Cooperative Organization) was established during WWII, its purpose was the mutual collection of intelligence together, along with other allied nations against Japan. The Office of Strategic Services worked jointly with China to develop SACO. Soldiers in the operation were totally immersed in the culture and trained and operated with Chinese guerilla forces. These soldiers were charged with the mission of locating landing areas for the USN fleet and General Chennault's 14th Air Force. The patch is embroidered on silk and leather and features a beautifully colored and detailed dragon in the center with an anchor above it that reads: "USN" and has a Chinese sun on one side and five-point star on the other. Under the dragon the patch reads: "1944 – 46".
