3rd Weather Squadron -- WWII squadron patch Disney design

Description

3RD WEATHER SQUADRON, DISNEY DESIGNED SQUADRON PATCH
3rd Weather Squadron, HQ AAF
Beautiful American-made chain stitched embroidery on wool.
A classic Disney design showing Cupid sitting on a cloud in galoshes with all kinds of weather taking place around. A great insignia made even more dynamic by the use of chain stitch.
Used and removed from flight clothing with light to moderate wear, very light soiling, and maybe a couple of extremely tiny moth nips. About 5-1/2”+ in diameter.
