15th AF SSI / XV Version with Custom Rockers / "CAPRI SERIES"
An A2JACKETPATCHES original...
Exact reproduction of the Roman numeral 15th AF SSI in the MTO. This is designed after an original for TOLEDO, OHIO and the 376th BG on the bottom rocker and available but you can have anything you wish in it's place providing it fits OK...just say so in the "comment to seller" option
The 12th and 15th Air Forces stationed in Italy had a few different unofficial combinations of insignia as well as the official like this 15th AF using the unofficial Roman numerals on a shield. Having a U.S. Flag was a big thing as well compared to the other theaters, quite frequently. The MTO personel would have R&R on the Isle of Capri where this type of patch was created and sold by local crafters. This not a modern artist rendition, but a true replica of what was worn, it's the best you'll find for any impression where accuracy is a must. Kudos to all of the fantastic artists out there but this is the reality of a very simple technique that should not be forgotten, again, simple. Not overdone, the authenticity in our patches is second to none...
We're taking a new approach to fill the gap in between modern commercial art and true reproduction...It matters...
