militbuff Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share #5 Posted February 23, 2020 The first patch is from Peru, Guardia Civil Peru. Much appreciated. Not sure how that ended up with the USAF patches! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefighter Posted February 24, 2020 Share #6 Posted February 24, 2020 Middle one looks to be 9th AIR EVAC SQ Last one looks to be a reproduction of a Special Op Wing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
militbuff Posted February 25, 2020 Author Share #7 Posted February 25, 2020 Many thanks. The 9th Air Evac looks Japanese made but I can’t locate it anywhere. It looks like a map of South Vietnam. I wonder what F.B.O.T. stands for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what F.B.O.T. stands for. Yes Japanese made & Vietnam. Maybe Forward Base Of ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted February 26, 2020 Share #9 Posted February 26, 2020 That could be 9th AEMS if prior to 1966. After that, the 9th AEMS was inactivated and replaced with the 9th AE Group due to the escalating war. This had 3 squadrons (901, 902, 903 AES), and a detachment with at least 10 Operating Locations in Vietnam that fell under the 903 AES. So your 9 could be for 9 AEG or OL 9. Not sure on FBOT, maybe Forward Base of Operations Theatre. Then again, it could be some inside joke or some other obscure meaning known only to those that were there as it is a morale patch. AME is not really my area so that's all I know, hopefully it gets you closer. Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
