Vtg Rare WW2 Cadet Squadron 10 Theater Patch Chain Stitch USAF Air Force

Description

Vtg Rare WW2 Cadet Squadron 10 Theater Patch Chain Stitch. Guaranteed old and original. Has 4 rust stains from where it was stapled to a piece of wood. The patch is a circle of sky blue. It shows the head of snarling tiger at its center. Four white lightning bolts spring from the tiger's head. A white cloud sits immediately above the tiger's head, and a white Arabic numeral "10" is a the bottom of the patch. The tiger, the supreme symbol of tenacity and aggressiveness, was chosen by the 10th Squadron to symbolize the tradition of the Flying Tigers of World War II. The lightning bolts and cloud symbolize power and the horizons open to members of the squadron. The patch wasn't completely finished. Not sure if that was because of combat or some other reason? Pictures show size and condition. We pack well and ship quickly!
