Randy Posted June 28, 2013 Share #4 Posted June 28, 2013 Here you go. The middle RR patch and bottom left are Thai made. The bottom right is 70s US made. These were for those that flew over North Vietnam. The star was for Hanoi with the Red River flowing through it. The top 2 were a play on the RR theme. These were for guys that flew in SVN only. The top left is Japan made, other is Thai. Note the mouse skull on the Thai one. Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
