Tuskegee Airmen NHS Embroidered Patch

The legendary Tuskegee Airmen of the 332nd Fighter Group in WWII were colloquially known as 'Red Tails' or 'Red Tail Angels' due to the deep crimson painted on the noses and tails of their P-51 aircrafts. Despite the racial segregation of the US armed forces, the Tuskegee Airmen loyally served their country, completing 15,000 missions as bomber escorts.

Honor the 992 trained pilots and their accomplishments with this classic commemorative patch, featuring the iconic P-51 Mustang in front of a hangar at Moton Field. The full name of the site appears in black lettering, making this patch an ideal memento from your pilgrimage to this important historical site in Alabama. Iron-on backing allows for easy application, or choose to sew on to your jacket, bookbag, or other fabric surface for added durability.
