Air refueling, an increasingly crucial role in an intense long-distance war like the Vietnam conflict, was provided by the Tanker Task Force. The patch shows the Rudyard Kipling character Gunga Din running through the sky in the company of an aircraft.

VINTAGE: Circa 1965.

SIZE: Approximately 5" in diameter.

MATERIALS / CONSTRUCTION: Fully embroidered in cotton/silk/polyester threads, muslin backing.

ATTACHMENT: None.

MARKINGS: None.

ITEM NOTES: This is from a United States Air Force collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. MBJX13 LBCEX9/13 SBCEX12/13

CONDITION: 7 (Very Fine): The patch shows some moderate wear with some creasing.

GUARANTEE: As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
