Officially Licensed USMC VB-13 Red Devils Squadron Patch - Marine Corps Red Devils bombing squadron heritage, officially licensed embroidered patch honoring one of the most storied unit lineages in Marine Corps aviation history.
Red Devils identity, a century of Marine aviation grit, and the weight of a nickname earned over every ocean and every conflict the Corps has ever entered.
The Red Devils name traces back to 1925 at Naval Air Station San Diego, where the squadron first flew under the Red Devil insignia and began building a combat record that no other Marine fighter squadron has matched. Through a series of redesignations that carried the unit from early biplane operations through dive bombing, torpedo bombing, jet fighters, and beyond, the Red Devils flew Douglas SBD Dauntless aircraft as the first Marine dive bomber squadron to strike the Japanese, and were the first squadron to land at Henderson Field on Guadalcanal. The VB designation in the patch title connects directly to the bombing chapter of that lineage, a period when the squadron carried the fight across the Pacific with precision and persistence. In Vietnam, the Red Devils flew nearly six thousand sorties over two hundred ninety consecutive days, and in 1973 became the last Marine squadron to leave Southeast Asia. In 1991, they were among the first across the Iraqi border during Operation Desert Storm. That depth of service across conflicts, aircraft types, and generations is exactly what makes a Red Devils patch meaningful beyond decoration.
Perfect For: Marine Corps aviation veterans, VMFA-232 alumni, Red Devils family members, World War II Pacific theater collectors, Vietnam-era Marine aviation enthusiasts, Operation Desert Storm commemorators, shadow box builders, challenge coin and patch board displays, reunion gifts, and anyone assembling a serious Marine Corps unit-history collection that honors the full arc of American military aviation from biplanes to supersonic fighters. It also suits historians, museum contributors, and gift buyers who want an officially licensed piece tied to a specific and verifiable unit story rather than a generic military emblem.
Red Devils lineage, officially licensed, stitched for the collectors and veterans who know exactly what that name cost to earn.
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.
