Hello everyone,
I'm sure for most it's a pretty simple question but I have no clue where to find those. I'm not sure what those patches are called, and quite frankly not sure about their purpose. I've seen a few times on some leather navy jackets (possibly some nylons too), patches on the sleeves with numbers "100, 200, 300" and they were sort of overlapping. Now I can only imagine those represent the amount of sorties a pilot had from a carrier? What are these patches called? I looked all over Google trying my best to search something and nothing comes up. And I can't even show you an example because I only see them on occasion and never saved a picture.
If anyone knows what these are for and their name, would be appreciated.
