Authentic Licensed USMC Flying Leathernecks Military Patch

Description

Officially Licensed USMC Flying Leathernecks Patch — Embroidered Patch

A Century of Marine Wings

Some patches honor a squadron. This one honors an entire legacy. The Flying Leathernecks patch represents over a hundred years of Marine Corps aviation — from the first pilots authorized by Congress in 1920 to the tiltrotor crews operating across the globe today. If you’ve ever turned wrenches on a Marine flight line, pulled pitch in a combat zone, or walked the halls of the Flying Leatherneck Aviation Museum, this patch belongs on your gear.

The term “Flying Leathernecks” has been synonymous with Marine aviation since the earliest days of the Corps’ air wing. Marine aviators accompanied expeditionary forces to Latin America and Asia in the 1920s, flew from Navy carriers through the 1930s, and became legends at Guadalcanal, where pilots like Joe Foss and Pappy Boyington turned Henderson Field into a fortress in the sky. From the frozen ridges of Korea to the jungles of Vietnam, from Desert Storm to the mountains of Afghanistan, Marine aviation has served as the aerial sword of the expeditionary force. The Flying Leatherneck Aviation Museum — the only museum in the world dedicated exclusively to USMC aviation — preserves this history for future generations.

Perfect For:
Marine aviators and aircrew, USMC aviation veterans, military history enthusiasts, patch collectors, museum supporters, and anyone who bleeds Marine green and gold

Every Marine who flew. Every crew chief who launched them. This is their patch.
