Product Description

US Army L-4 Grasshopper WWII Patch

The tiny plane that won big battles — the Grasshopper of World War II.

The Piper L-4 Grasshopper was the unsung workhorse of U.S. Army aviation during World War II, serving as a liaison, observation, and artillery spotting aircraft across every major theater of the war. Based on the civilian Piper J-3 Cub, the L-4 was a simple, lightweight, fabric-covered airplane that could operate from roads, farm fields, and any flat patch of ground near the front lines. L-4 pilots flew unarmed and unescorted over enemy territory, directing artillery fire with a precision that devastated German and Japanese positions. Despite their tiny size and minimal armament, Grasshoppers were so effective at calling in accurate artillery that the enemy actively targeted them. This patch honors the Army Air Corps pilots who flew the smallest plane in the biggest war.

Perfect For:
WWII aviation veterans and their families, Army Air Corps historians, L-4 Grasshopper enthusiasts, liaison pilot community members, and World War II military patch collectors.

Small plane, big impact — the Grasshopper legacy.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do i choose the right backing?

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.

What size is this item?

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.

Are these officially licensed?

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.

Do you offer bulk or reruns for units/squadrons?

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.

Can you make a custom patch / name tag / lanyard / apparel?

Yes—custom solutions are available (patches, name tags, lanyards, apparel). Use the custom request page and include artwork, size, backing preference, and quantity.
