Doolittle received the Medal of Honor for conceiving of and carrying out his secret and successful five-pronged Japanese bombing mission. Now the location of the National Museum of the United States Air Force, Wright Field was originally built during World War I and named for aviation pioneer Wilbur Wright. The patch is in leather with a painted yellow and black logo.

VINTAGE: Circa early World War II.

SIZE: Approximately 4-7/8" in diameter.

MATERIALS / CONSTRUCTION: Painted leather.

ATTACHMENT: None.

ITEM NOTES: This is from a United States Air Force squadron patch collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VBJJX13 LHGEX9/13 SHGEX12/15

CONDITION: 7 (Very Fine): The patch has some small areas of medium wear to the painted areas; leather is supple.
