This collection features a variety of World War II United States Airforce trade badges and insignia. The lot includes badges representing the 5th and 11th Airforce units, alongside other unidentified patches.

The shapes vary, including shield, triangle, and circular forms, each displaying unique emblems and heraldry.

The badges exhibit signs of age and wear consistent with their vintage. Some fading and minor fraying are present, which is expected for items of this era. These badges are highly sought after by collectors of military memorabilia, particularly those interested in aviation history and WWII insignia. Their originality and historical significance make them a valuable addition to any collection, offering a tangible connection to the brave men and women who served during the war.
