Can anyone ID this patch USN USMC?

Recommended Posts

I recently picked up this patch and I can’t ID it. I think it has a USN/USMC look to, but it could be USAF. It measures 4.5” across. The construction looks to be 1950s -60’s period. Does anyone know what unit it is? Thanks for looking.

This is VW-1 (Airborne Early Warning Squadron One). Google the squadron and put squadron in the title(lest you get pictures of Volkswagons). They flew Navy B-17's and Connies from the late 40's on. Great patch, hope this helps,
