This is a gorgeous example of a World War II USAAF 510th Bomb Squad, 351st Bomb Group, 8th Air Force Jacket Patch. This is an English made patch embroidered on wool. This squadron is also known as the squadron that the movie star Clark Gable served in. The patch is slightly soiled from the wear it's received and looks to have been sewn into a flight jacket at some point in time.
