Marine Aircraft Group MAG-11 — USMC Embroidered Patch
The First and the Finest
Some units carry a legacy so deep it practically defined Marine aviation itself. If you served with MAG-11, you were part of the oldest aircraft group in the Marine Corps — a lineage stretching back to 1921 when its ancestral units first took shape as Aircraft Squadron, East Coast Expeditionary Force. This patch represents more than just a unit — it's a piece of Marine Corps aviation history.
Officially commissioned on 1 August 1941 at Quantico, Virginia, MAG-11 was the Marine Corps' first aircraft group. From defending San Diego after Pearl Harbor to flying combat in the skies over Da Nang with F-8 Crusaders, F-4 Phantoms, A-6 Intruders, and A-4 Skyhawks, MAG-11 set the standard. During Desert Storm, the group became the largest Marine fixed-wing air group in history, flying over 7,500 combat sorties and 16,400 hours without a single loss of life or aircraft. In Operation Iraqi Freedom, MAG-11 aviators flew 120-130 sorties per day and dropped over 4.2 million pounds of ordnance. Now based at MCAS Miramar, the group continues its mission under the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing.
Perfect For:
MAG-11 veterans and active duty Marines, 3rd MAW aircrew, F/A-18 Hornet and KC-130 community members, Marine aviation historians, and collectors of legacy USMC patches.
Where Marine Aviation Began.
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.
