Officially Licensed USMC VMF-513 Nightmares WWII Patch — Night Fighters of the Pacific

The Nightmares of VMF-513 haunted enemy skies in World War II — night fighter terror from the Marines.

Marine Fighter Squadron 513 (VMF-513), the Nightmares, served during World War II, establishing a legacy in Marine night fighter operations. This WWII-era embroidered patch connects VMF-513 to today's VMFAT-502 Nightmares, which carries the lineage forward as the F-35 Lightning II Fleet Replacement Squadron. VMF-513's wartime pilots flew some of the most dangerous missions in the Pacific — night fighter intercepts requiring exceptional instrument flying skills and courage in an era before modern radar and night vision technology. The Nightmares' name reflected the terror they brought to enemy pilots after dark.

Perfect For: VMF-513 Nightmares WWII heritage fans, VMFAT-502 lineage enthusiasts, Marine night fighter historians, WWII Pacific aviation buffs, and USMC WWII heritage patch collectors.

Nightmares — haunting enemy skies since World War II.
