This embroidered novelty patch, reading 'You've Been Had By A Spad,' reflects the affectionate nickname 'Spad' that Vietnam-era A-1 Skyraider pilots and crews gave their own aircraft — a playful nod to the propeller-driven Skyraider's resemblance, in spirit, to the WWI-era French SPAD fighter. Patches like this were popular items of squadron humor and esprit de corps among 'Sandy' rescue escort pilots and other A-1 units during the war. Project: 219928
