Lightning Ace Posted March 5, 2011 Share #26 Posted March 5, 2011 Wow! I know about 5 guys or more who would love to have that patch in their collection.

General Apathy Posted March 12, 2011 Share #27 Posted March 12, 2011 This is a group of patches from aircraft manufacturers located in Wichita KS during WW2. Beech, Cessna and Boeing still exist. Hi Tinman, thanks to you and others who posted some unusual, some rare, and all beautiful patches relating to aircraft manufacturers a nice change from run of the mill infantry patches. I might have a couple tucked away in a box somewhere and until I find them then here are a pair of coveralls chenille embroidered with ' Chance - vought Aircraft ', made in white cotton herringbone twill material by the BlueBell jean company. lewis .

wildcat123 Posted September 14, 2015 Share #28 Posted September 14, 2015 Picked this one up this weekend. Already posted in this thread but thought it was neat to see on the coverall. This one belonged to a female inspector... Very excited to get this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCSchultz Posted November 6, 2016 Share #38 Posted November 6, 2016 I see that there is already a North American Aviation NAA Patch in this thread but I figured I'd add mine as well as it comes with the miniature lapel screwback pin as well. They came to me separately but they're together now. And here's a close up of the pin as well as the back of the patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Flick Posted November 6, 2016 Share #39 Posted November 6, 2016 Very impressive group of patches! Was there a particular patch used by the Douglas Aircraft Company at its factory in Tulsa, OK? I saw your Douglas patch but wondered if that covered all Douglas facilities or, like the Boeing Wichita example, there might be one in particular for Douglas Tulsa. Great stuff. Regards, Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She trained as a riveter but as it turned out, she was allergic to aluminum dust, so they moved her to Security. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
