U. S. WWII 9th Army Air Force Patch with Gold Filigree Thread

The 9th Army Air Force was distinguished in WW II for both its bomber and fighter squadrons-first, based in Cairo, Egypt, defeating Rommel's army in Tunisia, then supporting the landings in Sicily, and finally, flying thousands of missions in support of the Normandy landings in May 1944. A superb symbol of air power in WW II.
