What is the history of USAF Patches?
The history of USAF patches is deeply rooted in military tradition and pride. Originating in 1907 with the Aeronautical Division of the Signal Corps, the patches underwent several changes reflecting the evolution and eventual independence of the Air Force. During World War II, the US Army Air Forces (USAAF) introduced two main types of patches: large, painted leather jacket patches and smaller, embroidered shoulder sleeve insignia (SSI). The transformation from the USAAF to the USAF was formalized with the signing of the National Security Act of 1947, officially establishing the Air Force on September 18, 1947. Modern USAF patches, worn by active duty, reserve, and National Guard personnel, vary from vivid, colorful designs to more subdued versions, according to the uniform and occasion. The design and approval process for these patches is governed by Air Force Instruction (AFI) 84-105, ensuring each patch upholds the tradition and values of the Air Force.
