Officially Licensed USMC VMF-313 Lilly Packin' Hellbirds Patch — Marine Fighter Squadron 313 WWII-Era Embroidered Patch
The Hellbirds — VMF-313's Pacific war legacy of aggressive close air support.
VMF-313 "Hellbirds" was commissioned on August 1, 1943, and deployed to the Western Pacific where they flew the F4U Corsair in some of the fiercest air-to-ground combat of World War II. During the Battle of Okinawa, VMF-313 conducted close air support missions against heavily fortified Japanese positions. The squadron's pilots became known for aggressive low-level attack runs, earning the Hellbirds nickname for their willingness to fly through intense anti-aircraft fire to support Marines on the ground. Their legacy represents the Marine Corps' tradition of getting low, getting close, and delivering ordnance on target.
Perfect For:
VMF-313 Hellbirds veterans, WWII Pacific theater historians, F4U Corsair community enthusiasts, close air support devotees, and USMC legacy fighter squadron patch collectors.
Hellbirds. VMF-313. Weapons hot.
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.
