ARTIFACT: This is a nice circa mid- to late 1950s United States Navy VAH-9 (Heavy Attack Squadron 9) jacket patch. Because VAH-9 was known both as the "Hooters" and "Hoot Owls", the patch shows a large orange disembodied owl head above a cloud, bomb and two thunderbolts. The patch was made in the United States. The unit was redesignated from VC-9 to VAH-9 in November 1955, and at the time was serving on the USS Ticonderoga (CVA-14).

SIZE: Approximately 5-1/8" in width and 5" in height.

MATERIALS / CONSTRUCTION: Twill embroidered in cotton/polyester thread, mesh backing.

ATTACHMENT: None.

MARKINGS: None.

ITEM NOTES: This is from a 1950s United States Navy jacket patch collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. ebay MCJX14 LAGEX8/14 SAEEX1/15

CONDITION: 8+ (Excellent): The patch shows very little wear.

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