This embroidered 'A1H Super Spad' patch was worn by pilots and crews who flew the A-1H Skyraider, affectionately nicknamed the 'Spad' after the WWI-era French fighter, during the Vietnam War. Patches like this one, often custom-made and unofficial, expressed pride and camaraderie among aircrews who flew the rugged, propeller-driven attack aircraft in combat. Project: 219540
