Description: RARE because it is an ORIGINAL, AUTHENTIC patch from the US Air Force's 38th Air Transport Squadron. The 38th Air Transport Squadron is an inactive United States Air Force unit. Its last was assigned to the 1611th Air Transport Wing, Military Air Transport Service, stationed at McGuire Air Force Base, New Jersey. It was inactivated on 25 June 1965. Activated during World War II as a ferrying squadron. Moved to the Pacific and served on Christmas Island until it was replaced by Station 8, Pacific Wing, Air Transport Command in a general reorganization of Air Transport Command in 1943. Reestablished in 1954 as a Douglas C-118 Liftmaster transport squadron. Flew MATS passenger flights on a worldwide scale until inactivated in 1965 with the phaseout of the C-118. This patch has "a loose cheesecloth" backing, a "cut blue" border, has a "fully embroidered" background, does not have velcro on the back, does have sew holes, and shows the dimensions in the photos...the ruler on the right is 6". This is from a USAF patch collection I picked up at the Red River Valley Fighter Pilot Association reunion a while back (just now getting to posting them). It came from a very "METICULOUS" patch collector, and hope to find this gem a good home. Again, I truly believe this is an ORIGINAL ONE-OF only, so grab it while you can, an AUTHENTIC patch obtained by the collector (obviously, an AVID patch collector) during his many years of USAF service.
