Official USAF 463rd Bombers Inc Squadron Patch — United States Air Force Bombardment Squadron Embroidered Patch
"Bombers Inc." — the 463rd turned strategic bombing into a business.
The 463rd Bombardment Group was activated during World War II and flew B-17 Flying Fortresses with the Fifteenth Air Force from bases in Italy, conducting strategic bombing missions against Axis targets across Southern Europe, the Balkans, and Germany. The "Bombers Inc." nickname captured the industrial scale of the Fifteenth Air Force's strategic bombing campaign — systematic, relentless, and delivered on schedule. The 463rd participated in some of the most heavily defended raids of the war, including missions against the Ploesti oil refineries in Romania and industrial targets deep inside the Third Reich.
Perfect For:
USAF 463rd Bombardment Group veterans and descendants, B-17 Flying Fortress enthusiasts, Fifteenth Air Force heritage collectors, WWII strategic bombing historians, and Air Force legacy squadron patch collectors.
Bombers Inc. Business is booming.
