tknowles Posted September 27, 2013 Share #1 Posted September 27, 2013 sorry if this is the wrong spot for this, I am a new member. I dont think this patch is correctly identified by the seller, identified by the seller as the 519th fighter interceptor squadron which never left the USA during korea and vietnam, the scroll on the bottom is vietnamese for tiger cub. I like the graphic and the older style blue circle and white star, any thoughts on correct unit id? http://www.ebay.com/itm/390666023909?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steverino Posted September 27, 2013 Share #2 Posted September 27, 2013 This looks like a modern repro of one of the original VNAF fighter squadron patches. PatchJohnson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vintageproductions Posted September 27, 2013 Share #4 Posted September 27, 2013 Right as rain. Most VNAF squadron patches that were Japanese made were worn by US pilots attached to VNAF squadrons. Very tough patch to find.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
