Looper5920 Posted February 24, 2019 Share #2 Posted February 24, 2019 Very nice early edition MASS-3 patch. Article below is from the 8 May 1959 edition of the Marine Corps Air Station El Toro Flight Jacket, the base newspaper. It shows the origin of the insignia. Second photo shows some additional MASS-3 patches that I have in my collection. Of note, the MASS-3 insignia is the oldest continuously used insignia amongst Marine Corps aviation command and control units. Cheers MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
