River Patrol Posted June 12, 2015 Share #1 Posted June 12, 2015 Can anyone ID this patch? possibly Air Force related..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WW2JAKE Posted June 12, 2015 Share #2 Posted June 12, 2015 im not familiar with the patch but i am familiar with the 184th IR whos nickname is "Night Stalkers" and i believe their D company is also known as the "Delta Demons" so it might be related to them?

Johnny Signor Posted June 12, 2015 Share #3 Posted June 12, 2015 possibly 431st Fighter Squadron , night missions ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted June 12, 2015 Share #4 Posted June 12, 2015 The 431 TFS Red Devils were never in SEA. The 433 TFS Satan's Angels were in Thailand and did fly night missions, but this patch has an Army look to it. Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
River Patrol Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share #5 Posted June 12, 2015 It came from an all USAF Vietnam collection......that's why I mentioned possibly Air Force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted June 12, 2015 Share #6 Posted June 12, 2015 What's the back look like? Here's the 433 patch for reference, Thai made. Was there a time frame on the collection, or did it span over a lot of years? Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WW2JAKE Posted June 12, 2015 Share #7 Posted June 12, 2015 isnt the 431st the red devils? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted June 12, 2015 Share #8 Posted June 12, 2015 isnt the 431st the red devils? Yes, I put that in my first reply. I guess I'll post it as well as the 431 and 433 are fairly similar. But again, the 431 never served as a unit in SEA where it looks like the OP's patch might be from. Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Signor Posted June 12, 2015 Share #10 Posted June 12, 2015 Yeah , my "suggestion" was just that , wasn't sure that was it either ......... The AF sometimes had some odd spin offs of the standard design on some ........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted June 12, 2015 Share #11 Posted June 12, 2015 Yeah , my "suggestion" was just that , wasn't sure that was it either ......... The AF sometimes had some odd spin offs of the standard design on some ........ Hah, the AF has TONS of spin-offs. That's half the fun and a big part of the frustration!

River Patrol Posted June 13, 2015 Author Share #12 Posted June 13, 2015 scan of reverse.....it has a SEA look but not from the front....it's a weird construction. The collection spanned the Vietnam war. I haven't seen the whole collection and I just cherry picked special operation patches.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
River Patrol Posted June 13, 2015 Author Share #13 Posted June 13, 2015 There is the 134th Assault Helicopter Company that called themselves the "Demons" and were stationed in IV CTZ.......however, I don't think they flew at night, as most Army helicopter units did not.

Randy Posted June 13, 2015 Share #14 Posted June 13, 2015 Hard to tell from here, but it almost looks Korean made. That just muddies the water further... Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Signor Posted June 13, 2015 Share #15 Posted June 13, 2015 Yeah , Randy , too many weird patches made and too many not "approved" and what's really Frustrating is that TOO many are un ID'd /named !!!!!!!!!!!!!! But , if it weren't for that we'd have nothing to keep us busy then right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
