| In
the early years of the war in the Pacific, American planes wore a white star with a red
circle. The red circle was removed to avoid combat confusion with the rising
sun. Our Army Air Force patch is made from five different leathers indigenous to the
China-Burma-India theatre, including a dark blue suede background, white, red and tan
goatskin for the star and wings, and russet brown calfskin for the border. |
