Officially Licensed USMC VMTB-144 Hensagliska WWII Throwback Patch — Torpedo Bomber Heritage

VMTB-144 flew torpedo bombers in World War II — this throwback preserves a rare piece of Marine aviation heritage.

Marine Torpedo Bombing Squadron 144 (VMTB-144), known as Hensagliska, was a World War II-era Marine Corps torpedo bomber squadron. This throwback embroidered patch preserves the identity of a unit that represented one of the most dangerous missions in the Pacific War — torpedo bombing runs that required flying straight and level at low altitude toward heavily defended enemy ships. VMTB squadrons carried the fight to the Japanese fleet with extraordinary courage, and VMTB-144's unique identity deserves to be remembered among the Marines who shaped naval aviation history.

Perfect For: VMTB-144 heritage enthusiasts, WWII Marine torpedo bomber historians, Pacific War aviation buffs, and USMC WWII throwback embroidered patch collectors.

Hensagliska — torpedo bomber courage from World War II.
