Killer VN Flight Jacket Patch / Tonkin Gulf / 50 Missions

[a2jacketpatches]

From a brief research, this unit from the USS Enterprise harassed NVA while evacuations were in progress late 1974. Also the first to use one of my personal all time favorites, the F-14 Tomcat. Asian hand guided embroidery.

Here's a link to another stitches to a leather jacket, doesn't look like Navy goat though.

And another link describing "Operation Frequent Wind"

CVW-14 became the first operational air wing to receive the F-14A Tomcat. In September 1974, CVW-14 deployed aboard USS Enterprise for its first peacetime deployment in ten years. On 29 April 1975, CVW-14 was again involved in Vietnam, providing support and air cover for the evacuation of U.S. personnel from South Vietnam during Operation Frequent Wind.
