WWII Airborne Command Patch

Here is a one piece Airborne Command patch. Fully embroidered on tan and in near mint condition. The U.S. Airborne Command Shoulder Patch was created in 1943, and used during WWII to designate smaller Airborne units before they were assigned to a formal division. Units such as the 501st and 506th Parachute Infantry regiments wore this patch before being assigned to the 101st Airborne Division.
