Very Rare USAAF 350th Bomb Squadron, "Bloody 100th" Bomb Group UK-Made Leather Patch

This is a very rare World War II English-made jacket patch for the United States Army Air Forces 350th Bomb Squadron, "Bloody 100th " 100th Bomb Group. The Bloody 100th inherited its nickname after suffering repeated heavy losses, a situation not helped when they became a sought-after target for vengeful German aircraft. The patch shows a leprechaun-like figure on a cloud regulating the flow of bombs.

Circa World War II.

Approximately 4-13/16" in diameter.

Inlaid, embossed leather.

None.

100th B. GROUP 350th B. SQUADRON handwritten on front.

8- (Very Fine-Excellent): The patch shows some minor wear.
