ITEM NOTES:

This is from a United States Army Air Forces collection that we will be listing more of over the next few months. VAJJX06 LFGEX12/12

CONDITION:

8- (Very Fine-Excellent): The patch shows light storage wear. And someone in the past has penned 13 on Mercury's thigh, no doubt to keep track of the unit designation.
