A standard American made 8th USAAF patch. Full wing design, used and removed from uniform with light service wear. Several in stock made be a very slight difference to the image. Mighty Eighth tasked with the daylight bombing. In total, the 8th Air Force lost over 26,000 men. An additional 28,000 men became prisoners of war. Aircraft losses were also grim: 10, 561 planes of varying types were shot down, 4754 of those were B-17 heavy bombers.
