The eagle and flaming sword, cloaked for the jungle.

  • Subdued Design: In 1966, to prevent bright colors from giving away a soldier's position, the US Army introduced subdued insignia featuring black embroidery on an olive drab background.

  • Unit History: The 1st Aviation Brigade commanded the massive helicopter fleets (Hueys, Cobras, Chinooks) that defined the airmobile warfare tactics of the Vietnam War.

  • Early Manufacturing (Cut Edge): Featuring a raw, un-merrowed cut edge and the classic white bobbin thread on the reverse, this patch is definitively dated to the authentic 1966-1968 production era before merrowed borders became standard.

  • Condition: Mint New Old Stock (NOS). Never sewn on a uniform, with perfect contrast and no fraying.

  • Placement: Worn on the left shoulder of combat utility uniforms (Jungle Fatigues).
