A hard-to-find insignia from the Cold War's frontline. This flash was worn by the 22nd Special Forces Aviation Detachment, the helicopter unit tasked with supporting Detachment A and the Berlin Brigade inside West Berlin. Due to the small size of the unit, these flashes are much scarcer than standard Group flashes.

  • Colors: Features the Teal Blue and Orange of the Army Aviation branch.

  • Condition: Excellent/Mint. White bobbin thread back.

Technical Specs:

  • Unit: 22nd SFAD

  • Affiliation: Berlin Brigade / SF Det A
