Officially Licensed USMC VMF-222 Flying Deuces Patch — Marine Fighting Squadron 222 Flying Deuces World War II Era Embroidered Patch
Flying Deuces — VMF-222's World War II fighter legacy.
This VMF-222 "Flying Deuces" patch commemorates one of the Marine Corps' World War II fighter squadrons, preserving the identity of a unit that flew the legendary F4U Corsair in combat against the Japanese Empire in the Pacific theater.
VMF-222 was part of Marine Aircraft Group 22 (MAG-22), which gained immortal fame at the Battle of Midway in June 1942. The Flying Deuces flew the bent-wing F4U Corsair, one of the most iconic fighter aircraft of World War II, engaging Japanese fighters and providing close air support for Marine ground forces across the island-hopping campaigns of the Pacific War. The Corsair's distinctive inverted gull wing, powerful Pratt & Whitney R-2800 engine, and devastating firepower made it one of the most feared fighters in the Pacific. VMF-222's pilots added to the Corsair's combat record with aggressive aerial engagements and ground attack missions that helped turn the tide of the war in the Pacific. This no-velcro patch preserves the Flying Deuces' wartime identity for display and collection.
This patch preserves VMF-222's World War II heritage.
Perfect For: VMF-222 Flying Deuces veterans and descendants, F4U Corsair enthusiasts, World War II Marine aviation historians, and vintage USMC squadron patch collectors.
Flying Deuces — VMF-222 forever.
