Posted also on our sister forum. Similar style to that of the 9th AAF. Cross of Lorraine points to a Free French connection. I know the Free French Air Force flew under several Allied commands, including the USAAF, but not sure if the 9th was one of them. Chain stiching on dark blue felt. All help is much appreciated.

Thanks, Al

First Tactical Air Force, made up of US and French groups-a provisional unit. Great rare patch!

Is would start at $450. It is in the realm of the Russian shuttle patch but less known. Could go to $650.
