VMFB-241 ‘Sons of Satan’ WWII Aviation Patch

Description

VMSB-241 Sons of Satan WWII Patch — Dive Bombers of Midway

The Sons of Satan flew their SBD Dauntless dive bombers into the hell of Midway — and most of them never came back.

Marine Scout Bombing Squadron 241 (VMSB-241), the Sons of Satan, holds one of the most heroic and tragic records in Marine aviation history. At the Battle of Midway in June 1942, VMSB-241 launched attacks against the Japanese carrier fleet flying SB2U Vindicators and SBD Dauntless dive bombers. The squadron suffered devastating losses — many aircraft were shot down by Japanese fighters and anti-aircraft fire — but their courage in pressing home attacks against overwhelming odds exemplified the Marine fighting spirit. This WWII-era patch honors the ultimate sacrifice of the Sons of Satan at one of the war’s most decisive battles.

Perfect For: VMSB-241 history enthusiasts, WWII Marine aviation historians, Battle of Midway students, dive bomber heritage collectors, and WWII military patch fans.

Sons of Satan — they flew into hell at Midway and never flinched.
