CUBUSMC Posted October 11, 2017 Share #3 Posted October 11, 2017 This is basically a replica of what the early Marines painted on their airplanes during WWI and slightly after. The unit only Marine aviation unit that served in WWI, I believe was the Northern Bombing Group. Anyway, this patch is well post WWI, I believe it is what they call a Stokes-Kirk patch, made for collectors. This and other similar patches have been discussed in depth on the Forum, I just can't seem to locate them right now. There is a lot of different opinions on when these were actually made. I have heard anywhere from the 30's to the 60's. I honestly believe they are post WW2. Anyway, I am sure others will chime in.

nchistory Posted October 11, 2017 Author Share #4 Posted October 11, 2017 Thanks Jeff for your response. Seems like I recall hearing, or reading before of the Stokes-Kirk patch made for returning Vets, maybe 20's. S/F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
