Late WWII Squadron Patch for USAAF 43rd Bomb Squadron, 29th Bomb Group, 20th Air Force

This is a squadron patch for the United States Army Air Forces 43rd Bomb Squadron, 29th Bomb Group, 20th Air Force. This squadron was highly decorated and flew B-29 aircraft. Staff Sgt. Henry E. Brown, a Medal of Honor recipient, led this squadron on attacks against Tokyo and other locations. The patch shows a mean-looking silver eagle riding a shiny red missile.

Circa late World War II.

4-15/16" diameter.

Painted leather.

This is from a United States Army Air Forces collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VBJJX10 LFGEX8/10

8+ (Excellent): Patch has incredibly little wear.

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