Can someone tell me what era this is and what does it mean, I thought when I bought it, it was for Air Ships, (blimps), but not sure now. Thanks Ken

Thanks Ron, looks like this one was disestablished Nov 1959 in GA. I have always wanted some Air Ship items ever since I visted the Tillamook Air Museum here in Oregon. The museum was housed in an old air ship hanger, and you can't believe how big it is until you walk up to it and look around. I was very impressed.

There have been a few Airship squadron patches being sold on EBay lately. Neat looking patches

Your tab was probably used for the dress uniform during inspections/parades ..................
