Officially Licensed VMF-224 Bengals WWII Throwback Patch — Guadalcanal's Bengal Fighters
VMF-224 fought at Henderson Field during the Battle of Guadalcanal — this throwback honors those original Bengals.
Marine Fighter Squadron 224 (VMF-224), the Bengals, fought during World War II at Guadalcanal, where they became part of the legendary Cactus Air Force defending Henderson Field. This WWII throwback embroidered patch from MAG-31 preserves the Bengals' wartime identity that connects directly to today's VMFA(AW)-224 at MCAS Beaufort. VMF-224's pilots flew F4F Wildcats and other fighters against overwhelming Japanese air attacks, contributing to the desperate defense that held Guadalcanal and turned the tide in the Pacific. The Bengals' combat lineage stretches back to the war's most critical battles.
Perfect For: VMF-224 Bengals WWII heritage fans, VMFA-224 lineage enthusiasts, Guadalcanal Cactus Air Force historians, and USMC WWII throwback embroidered patch collectors.
Bengals WWII — Guadalcanal fighters, Henderson Field defenders.
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.
