Distinguished Flying Cross Patch — Embroidered Patch
Heroism Above the Earth
The Distinguished Flying Cross recognizes heroism or extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight — the aviator's highest recognition short of the service crosses. This patch represents the pilots, aircrew, and aerial observers who demonstrated exceptional courage or skill in the air during combat or other aerial operations.
The Distinguished Flying Cross was established by an Act of Congress on July 2, 1926, and has been awarded to aviators from all branches of service for acts of heroism or extraordinary achievement in aerial flight. Marine recipients include helicopter pilots who flew into hot landing zones under devastating fire to extract wounded Marines, fixed-wing pilots who pressed attacks against heavily defended targets, and aircrew who demonstrated extraordinary airmanship under the most demanding combat conditions. The DFC has been awarded in every conflict from World War I through the War on Terror, recognizing the unique courage required to operate in the aerial environment where a single mistake or enemy hit can be instantly fatal.
Perfect For:
Distinguished Flying Cross recipients, military aviators, aviation valor collectors, combat aircrew veterans, military decoration displays, and aerial achievement commemorators
Extraordinary achievement in the air.
If you want to swap patches on/off gear, choose hook & loop (velcro). If you’re attaching permanently to uniforms or fabric, choose sew-on. If you want quick application on compatible fabric, choose iron-on / heat seal (when offered). Backing options are shown on the page and update based on the variant you select.
Size is shown on the product page and updates with the variant you select (example: 3"). If you’re mounting on a hat or small panel, choose smaller sizes; for plate carriers and display boards, larger sizes fit better.
If the product is officially licensed, it will say “Officially Licensed” in the title and/or in the product details. If it doesn’t, it’s still a legitimate product—just not part of a licensed program.
Yes. If you see a note like “bulk reruns available,” that means we can support group orders or reruns. If you don’t see it, contact us with the unit/squadron and quantity and we’ll confirm options.
Yes—custom solutions are available (patches, name tags, lanyards, apparel). Use the custom request page and include artwork, size, backing preference, and quantity.
