Aircraft Patches

Aircraft patches connect recognizable airframes with the people and organizations that fly, maintain and remember them. Explore aviation designs for a collection organized by aircraft, squadron, service branch or a personal flying connection.

Aircraft patches: choose an aircraft design

Compare the aircraft designation, unit identity and artwork rather than relying on the silhouette alone. A patch associated with one squadron or airframe version may commemorate a different period from another design of the same general aircraft.

• Match the aircraft or unit designation and the pictured design.
• Check the listed size, construction and backing on each product.
• Distinguish removable hook-and-loop versions from sew-on or iron-on options.

Aviation heritage

The U.S. Army Center of Military History records that the 81st Division wore its wildcat shoulder insignia when it reached France in 1918. Unit emblems have since offered a compact way to express an organization’s identity and the experiences associated with it. U.S. Army Center of Military History.

Find the right addition to your collection

Choose by the details on the individual product page. Construction, dimensions and backing can vary between designs, so a collection category should not be read as a specification shared by every patch. Use the photographs and description together to select the version that suits your display, garment or compatible gear panel. Continue exploring the patches collection for related designs.
