Description
Activated in 1942, the 8th Air Force flew renowned bombers such as the B-17 Flying Fortress and the B-24 Liberator, and executed daring daylight raids across enemy lines. The courageous pilots of these planes were accompanied by their ‘Little Friends’ – fighter escorts like the P-47 Thunderbolt, P-38 Lightning and P-51 Mustang – helping them become the backbone of Allied air power in Europe.
This fantastic reproduction patch is crafted from embroidered cloth and measures approximately 6cm in diameter. The detailed stitching and vibrant colours mirror the original insignia and the raw edge of the original has been kept, giving that final touch of authenticity.
A true tribute to the legacy of this legendary unit. Get yours today and fly the colours of the 8th Airforce high!
