lamarhooten Posted June 13, 2021 Share #1 Posted June 13, 2021 Just got this in a trade for an addition to my Chairborne patches. Really nice Japan Occupation made patch! Sewn onto something at one time. Really nice quilted made patch! I cannot find out much about the unit - PATRON 57. VP-57 maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

postmanusnac Posted June 17, 2021 Share #6 Posted June 17, 2021 There is a 1954 VP-57 yearbook on eBay. They flew PV-2s out of Atsugi for a period of time, assuming 1954. The squadron was redesignated just a couple years later.PATRON = Patrol Squadron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
