Official USAF 23rd Fighter Group Flying Tigers Patch — 23rd Fighter Group Embroidered Patch
Flying Tigers — the legend lives on at the 23rd Fighter Group.
The 23rd Fighter Group of the United States Air Force carries the iconic "Flying Tigers" lineage that traces back to the legendary American Volunteer Group (AVG) that fought in China and Burma during the opening months of World War II. The original Flying Tigers, led by Claire Chennault, flew P-40 Warhawks with their famous shark-mouth nose art against the Imperial Japanese Air Force, achieving an incredible combat record that made them international heroes. When the AVG was disbanded in 1942, the 23rd Fighter Group was activated to carry on the Flying Tigers' mission and heritage.
Today, the 23rd Fighter Group continues to honor that storied legacy while executing modern tactical air operations. The shark-mouth nose art and Flying Tigers identity remain among the most recognized and revered insignia in military aviation history, transcending the Air Force to become a universal symbol of American fighter pilot courage and combat excellence. This embroidered patch captures the Flying Tigers' distinctive design, connecting today's airmen with a lineage that stretches back to the skies over China in 1941.
Perfect For: 23rd Fighter Group alumni and active-duty members, Flying Tigers heritage enthusiasts, World War II aviation historians, P-40 Warhawk fans, USAF fighter pilot supporters, and military patch collectors who value one of aviation's most iconic identities.
Flying Tigers forever — the shark mouth never fades.
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.
