Eric Queen Posted October 12, 2016 Share #3 Posted October 12, 2016 Looks Aussie made. Nice. Unofficial MAW patch? Have never seen it before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Der Finn Posted October 13, 2016 Share #5 Posted October 13, 2016 May 1944 issue of LEATHERNECK Magazine had an article entitled "Fast Freight To Hell". "Marine Combat Air Transport in the Pacific has written an epic of sheer guts and skillful flying while delivering supplies to our men. Marines run the fastest growing aerial transport lines in the world out in the South and Central Pacific. There is no competition. Nobody else wants the business' just now." Hope this helps.

Johnny Signor Posted October 13, 2016 Share #6 Posted October 13, 2016 Marine Transport units were titled "VMR" , so you may want to try googling USMC VMR unit patch images Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teamski Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share #7 Posted October 13, 2016 Thanks guys for your help! I already searched VMR's and VMJ's with no luck. It must be a generic patch based on what Der Finn mentioned. Thanks again! -Ski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobgee Posted October 13, 2016 Share #8 Posted October 13, 2016 Great looking, rare USMC aviation patch. Agree, looks Aussie-made. Congrats! Bobgee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocsfollowme Posted October 13, 2016 Share #9 Posted October 13, 2016 Der Finn nailed it. Here is the link. Google failed in the search but had to use bing to come up with what Der Finn found. https://www.mca-marines.org/leatherneck/1944/05/fast-freight-hell You may have to pay for a subscription to read the article. Or find it on ebay. Or maybe someone else on the forum has a subscription that can check for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
