AH-1 Cobra Vietnam Ribbon Patch — Bell AH-1 Cobra Vietnam War Attack Helicopter Service Ribbon Embroidered Patch
AH-1 Cobra Vietnam — the original Marine gunship paired with the Vietnam service ribbon.
The Bell AH-1 Cobra brought dedicated attack helicopter capability to the Marine Corps during the Vietnam War. Purpose-built for the gunship mission with a tandem-seat cockpit, chin-mounted turret, rockets, and machine guns, the Cobra provided close air support, armed escort, and armed reconnaissance for Marine ground forces across Vietnam. The Cobra changed how Marines thought about rotary-wing firepower — it wasn't just a transport anymore. This ribbon patch combines the Vietnam service ribbon with the helicopter that defined the Marine attack mission.
Perfect For:
AH-1 Cobra Vietnam veterans, Marine attack helicopter community, Bell AH-1 enthusiasts, Vietnam service ribbon collectors, and USMC gunship patch collectors.
