Looking for a little assistance regarding patch selection for an upcoming project.
After seeing the shoulder roundel on the Eastman jacket shown below, I ordered bullion 23rd FG, CBI, and AAF roundel patches from 5*.
After doing so, I've found that most other Flying Tigers jackets that I've found examples of have a 14th Air Force patch on the right shoulder in lieu of the AAF roundel. Are there historical examples of both being used or is this incorrect placement/ usage by ELC? I see other CBI jackets utilizing AAF roundels on the right sleeve, but not much in the way of 23rd FG.
BTW, kudos to Shawn @ 5* for his leather and bullion patch offerings. I was beyond thrilled to find this leather 511th BS patch offered on his site.
