Canadian Forces RCAF CF-101 Voodoo Witch Doctor Squadron Crest Patch Vintage

This Canadian Forces RCAF CF-101 Voodoo Witch Doctor Squadron Crest Patch is a vintage military insignia associated with the Royal Canadian Air Force. The patch represents the squadron that operated the McDonnell CF-101 Voodoo, a supersonic fighter-interceptor used by Canada from the early 1960s through the 1980s. The crest features the “Witch Doctor” emblem, which was the unofficial mascot and symbol of the unit, reflecting squadron traditions and esprit de corps. The patch is constructed using embroidery on cloth, typical of period squadron insignia. Such items were worn on flight suits or uniforms to denote squadron affiliation and foster group identity among personnel. Vintage RCAF patches like this are of interest to collectors and historians for their connection to Cold War-era Canadian military aviation and the specific heritage of the CF-101 Voodoo squadrons. The patch’s design and wear reflect the operational history and unique character of the unit it represents.
