WWI 96th Aero Squadron PVC Patch — Observation and Reconnaissance Over the Trenches
The 96th Aero Squadron flew reconnaissance and observation over the Western Front in the Great War.
This PVC patch commemorates the 96th Aero Squadron, a World War I unit that provided aerial observation and reconnaissance over the Western Front. While pursuit squadrons got the glory of dogfighting, observation squadrons like the 96th performed the essential mission of mapping enemy positions, directing artillery fire, and photographing trench networks. Flying low and slow over enemy lines, observation crews faced intense anti-aircraft fire and enemy fighter attacks. The 96th Aero Squadron's contribution to the American Expeditionary Forces helped shape the battlefield.
Perfect For: WWI aviation historians, 96th Aero Squadron heritage fans, aerial reconnaissance history enthusiasts, and World War I PVC patch collectors.
96th Aero Squadron — eyes over the trenches.
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.
