Mark M Posted March 24, 2009 Share #1 Posted March 24, 2009 I picked up several USMC aviation related patches from an estate sale out of the midwest last week and thought I would share. There are some unusual units here, and all of the patches appear to be foriegn made! First up is a 6" Marine Air Traffic Control Unit 62 patch.

Mark M Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share #13 Posted March 24, 2009 And the last one is not strictly USMC, but I had to get this one due to the size of the patch. This is a Landing Craft Air Cushion patch from the Westpac 1988 tour. this patch measures over 12" wide and 8" tall! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teufelhunde.ret Posted March 24, 2009 Share #15 Posted March 24, 2009 MATCU-70/MABS-24, Kaneohe Bay, was part of 1st Marine Brigade - same as your VMO patch and MATCH-62 was in VN in 69... there must be a connection between the group of patches - to an individual Marine?
