I originally put this in New Whiteman AFB patches. But think it should have its own thread. I found this today at Whiteman's thrift shop. it appears the patch was on a uniform or shirt. I did a little research and found this info, It was of a report that came out in Aug 21, 1992 named Whiteman Air Force Base Deactivation of the Minuteman ll Missile Wing.

DET 509 is the organization tasked with all the requirements to activate the first operational base for the B-2 Advance Bomber program. The mission of DET 509 is to manage and direct base planning to provide the required infrastructures capable to maintaining and operating the B-2 program for basing at Whiteman AFB. (3.1.2) . ( on 3.1.3) Detachment 509 is the precursor to the 509th Bomb Wing. I wonder how many of the these patches were made. Sorry for the double scan. Steve
