firefighter Posted September 2, 2013 Share #11 Posted September 2, 2013 Not a GOT patch but these guys trained the pilots.From what I could find the patch was worn by 'plowback' instructors, recent graduates that stayed to train new pilots, of VT-7.Vt-7 was stationed at Naval Auxiliary Air Station Meridian, Mississippi.They were flying the T-37B's at this time.

However, I owned one of these as a kid. I was in a Cub Scout or Boy Scout troop that had an annual formal dinner. One of our parents worked for a patch manufacturer in Philadelphia, and it very will may have been the Leonard Corporation (I never new the name of it.) As a give away at the dinner, they gave each of us a bag of patches. Most of them were Boy Scout patches, which we were very happy to receive. (Oddly, one of them was for a "BSA Missile Man for a Day"; I've often wondered what that was about.) But the biggest item of my lot was one of these, somewhere around 4 to 5 inches wide. I had no idea what it was at the time, but it was one of my favorites for years to come. Over time I lost that one, but in subsequent collecting I've picked up another. But it was proof to me that despite naysayers, there were novelty patches made in the USA during the Vietnam War. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
