Officially Licensed VMTB-242 Squadron Patch — Marine Torpedo Bombing Squadron 242 WWII-Era Embroidered Patch
VMTB-242 — Avenger torpedo bombers striking from the Pacific skies.
VMTB-242 was a Marine Torpedo Bombing squadron that served during World War II, flying the TBF/TBM Avenger in the Pacific theater. Marine torpedo bombing squadrons conducted anti-shipping strikes, close air support, and ground attack missions across the island-hopping campaigns that defined the Pacific war. The Avenger's ability to carry torpedoes, bombs, and rockets made it one of the most versatile naval combat aircraft of WWII. VMTB-242 crews faced intense anti-aircraft fire and challenging flight conditions as they pressed home attacks against enemy shipping and ground targets throughout the Western Pacific.
Perfect For:
VMTB-242 veterans and descendants, WWII Marine aviation historians, TBF/TBM Avenger community, Pacific theater collectors, and vintage USMC torpedo bombing squadron patch collectors.
VMTB-242. Avengers of the Pacific.
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.
