Detachment B-52 Project Delta 5th Special Forces Group Airborne Patch Variant

·      GVC with some staining and fraying. ·      Measures; 3” x 2” ·      Patch was made for the Bomb Damage Assessment (BDA) platoon associated with B-52, as the reaction force associated with that unit was the 81st ARVN Airborne Ranger Battalion. These are from the Estate of a former Military History Professor who had passed from Cancer in 2008. I am identifying and adding the history of these patches through a Combination of his notes and book sources such as Special Forces of the United States Army 1952/1982 by LTC Ian D.W. Sutherland (Ret.), U.S Army Patches: An Illustrated Encyclopedia of Cloth Unit Insignia by Barry Jason Stein and the United States Naval Aviation Patches Series by Michael L. Roberts.
