VMSB-151 Patch — Marine Scout Bombing Squadron 151 WWII-Era Embroidered Patch
VMSB-151 — another Marine scout bombing squadron that dove from the Pacific skies.
VMSB-151 was a Marine Scout Bombing squadron activated during World War II as part of the massive expansion of Marine aviation. Flying the SBD Dauntless and later the SB2C Helldiver, Marine scout bombing squadrons like VMSB-151 conducted precision dive bombing attacks against enemy positions throughout the Pacific campaign. The dive bombing mission demanded exceptional skill and nerve — pilots pushed over into near-vertical dives, holding steady through intense anti-aircraft fire to release their bombs at dangerously low altitude before pulling out. VMSB-151 was part of the force that gave Marine ground commanders organic close air support.
Perfect For:
VMSB-151 veterans and descendants, WWII Marine scout bombing squadron historians, SBD Dauntless and SB2C Helldiver enthusiasts, Pacific campaign collectors, and vintage USMC dive bomber patch collectors.
