This is a circa late 1960s jacket patch for the United States Air Force 42nd Tactical Electronic Warfare Squadron (42nd TEWS).

In late summer of 1970 the squadron transferred to Korat RTAFB. The patch is Japanese-made and fully embroidered. It shows an eagle perched upon the globe flanked by a radar screen and lightning bolts.

Circa late 1960's.
