Rare EARLY WAR Variant CBI Patch with Inverted Star CBI in Leather for A-2 Jacket

This is a early World War II United States Army Air Force CBI Theater patch made in multi-piece leather in the China-India-Burma theater. The patch is a badge shape and depicts a sun and a star on a field of blue above five vertical stripes. This example is a rare variation with the an inverted star. This style of patch is rarely seen used after 1942, so is considered early war.

Circa 1942.
