WW2 Canadian RCAF 113 F Multi Piece Construction Squadron Patch

The WW2 Canadian RCAF 113 F Multi Piece Construction Squadron Patch is an original cloth insignia associated with No. 113 (F) Squadron, Royal Canadian Air Force. This unit operated during the Second World War, primarily in the roles of air defense and fighter operations. The patch features a multi-piece construction typical of the period, utilizing individually cut and applied elements to achieve the squadron’s emblematic design—a method often employed to enhance durability and visual distinction on uniforms. Materials commonly include colored wool or felt supported by a cotton or canvas backing. This type of insignia would have been worn by squadron members on service dress tunics or flight suits, denoting their specific unit affiliation within the RCAF. Items such as this are considered representative artifacts of Canadian military aviation history from the 1939–1945 era, providing insight into Commonwealth squadron identification practices and uniform standards during the conflict.
