Officially Licensed USMC VMTB-232 Red Devils WWII Patch — Marine Torpedo Bombing Squadron 232 Red Devils World War II Embroidered Patch
The Red Devils of WWII — VMTB-232, Marine torpedo bombers who took the fight to the enemy across the Pacific Theater.
Marine Torpedo Bombing Squadron 232 (VMTB-232), the "Red Devils," was a World War II-era USMC torpedo bombing squadron that served in the Pacific Theater. The squadron operated the Grumman TBM Avenger, the Navy and Marine Corps' primary torpedo bomber of the war. The Avenger was a large, rugged single-engine aircraft designed to deliver torpedoes against enemy warships, but it also proved devastating in the bombing and close air support roles.
VMTB-232's Marine aviators flew combat missions during some of the most intense fighting of the Pacific War. The TBM Avenger's versatility allowed the Red Devils to strike enemy shipping, bomb fortified island positions, and provide close air support for Marines fighting on the ground. The torpedo bombing mission required extraordinary courage — pilots had to fly low and straight toward heavily defended enemy warships to release their torpedoes, making them vulnerable to withering anti-aircraft fire.
The "Red Devils" name captured the aggressive fighting spirit of these Marine aviators who faced some of the most dangerous combat missions in the Pacific. VMTB-232's legacy is part of the broader story of Marine aviation's decisive contribution to victory in World War II.
Perfect For: VMTB-232 Red Devils historians and families, WWII Marine aviation enthusiasts, TBM Avenger historians, Pacific Theater collectors, and Marine Corps heritage patch collectors.
VMTB-232 Red Devils — hell from above, Marine torpedo bombers who owned the Pacific skies.
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.
