Product Description

VMFA-235 Death Angels 1979 Squadron Patch — USMC Marine Fighter Attack Squadron Iran Hostage Crisis Embroidered Patch

The same design. The same resolve. Created in 1979 when the Death Angels were ready to fly into Iran.

This patch reproduces the original artwork created by Harold Newell, a Marine with VMFA-235 during the Iran Hostage Crisis. When Iranian revolutionaries seized the U.S. Embassy in Tehran on November 4, 1979, Marine fighter attack squadrons across the fleet went on heightened alert. The Death Angels — flying F-4 Phantoms at the time — stood ready for whatever mission came down. This design was born from that moment, and this patch is a faithful reproduction of the original.

• Embroidered USMC squadron patch
• Dense stitching with merrowed border for authentic, professional finish
• Reproduction of the original 1979 design by Harold Newell
• Built for shadow box display and patch collections
• A piece of Marine Corps Cold War history

Perfect For:
VMFA-235 Death Angels veterans, F-4 Phantom aviators, Iran Hostage Crisis-era Marines, Cold War military patch collectors, and Marine fighter attack aviation historians.

Death Angels. 1979. Never forgotten.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right backing?

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.

What size is this item?

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.

Are these Officially Licensed?

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.

Do you offer bulk or reruns for units/squadrons?

Yes. If you see a note like “bulk reruns available,” that means we can support group orders or reruns. If you don’t see it, contact us with the unit/squadron and quantity and we’ll confirm options.

Can you make a custom patch / name tag / lanyard / apparel?

Yes—custom solutions are available (patches, name tags, lanyards, apparel). Use the custom request page and include artwork, size, backing preference, and quantity.
