WWII USAF Patches

This lot comprises three vintage bullion patches relating to the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) during World War II and potentially the Korean War era. Included are two patches representing the 5th Air Force, distinguished by their circular shape and detailed embroidered designs. The third patch is for the 11th Air Force, featuring a unique shield shape with the number “11” and a winged design, indicative of Alaskan service. These patches were likely worn on uniforms to denote unit affiliation and service.

Condition and Collectibility

These patches exhibit signs of age and wear consistent with their vintage. The bullion embroidery shows some minor fraying and loss of detail in areas, but the overall designs remain largely intact. These patches are highly sought after by collectors of military memorabilia, particularly those specializing in WWII and Korean War-era insignia. Their original construction and historical significance make them a desirable addition to any collection.
