1st Air Force Patch
A 1st Air Force WWII Army Air Forces numbered Air Force patch which measures approximately 3 inches. This is a fully embroidered sew on patch.
The First Air Force (1st AF) was one of the original numbered air forces of the United States Army Air Forces during World War II, established in 1940 as part of the buildup of American air power prior to U.S. entry into the war. Based primarily along the East Coast of the United States, First Air Force was responsible for the air defense of the northeastern U.S. and played a critical role in protecting American cities, industry, and shipping lanes from potential enemy air or submarine attackāespecially in the tense months following Pearl Harbor. In addition to its air defense mission, it became a major training command, preparing fighter and bomber units for deployment to combat theaters in Europe and North Africa. By organizing, training, and readying thousands of airmen for overseas service, First Air Force helped lay the foundation for the broader success of American air operations throughout the war.
