Officially Licensed HMM-365 Koler's Flying Circus Patch — USMC Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron Vietnam Era Embroidered Patch
"Koler's Flying Circus" — the Blue Knights' Vietnam-era identity, named for the commanding officer who led them into combat.
HMM-365 carried the "Koler's Flying Circus" identity during their Vietnam War deployments, named after the squadron's commanding officer Colonel Koler. Vietnam-era nicknames like this were organic to the unit — reflecting the personality of the leadership and the culture of the squadron. The "Flying Circus" name captured the fast-paced, chaotic nature of Marine helicopter combat operations in Vietnam, where multiple simultaneous missions, shifting priorities, and constant enemy contact created an environment that felt like a three-ring show with live ammunition.
Perfect For:
HMM-365 Vietnam veterans, Koler's Flying Circus alumni, CH-46 and UH-34 Vietnam crews, Marine medium helicopter Vietnam-era collectors, and USMC Vietnam War history enthusiasts.
Koler's Flying Circus. Vietnam. HMM-365.
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.
