US USAF 720 Bombardment Squadron (H) Patch

The US USAF 720 Bombardment Squadron (H) Patch represents the unit insignia of the 720th Bombardment Squadron (Heavy), a component of the United States Army Air Forces and later the United States Air Force. Activated during World War II, the 720th served as part of the 450th Bombardment Group, operating primarily in the Mediterranean Theater. The squadron was equipped with heavy bombers, notably the B-24 Liberator, and participated in strategic bombing missions targeting enemy infrastructure and supply lines. The patch typically features symbolic imagery associated with the squadron and its role, incorporating elements reflective of its heavy bombardment designation. Such patches were issued to squadron members as part of their uniforms and served both as identification and as a symbol of unit cohesion. The US USAF 720 Bombardment Squadron patch is of interest to collectors of militaria, particularly those focusing on World War II and Air Force history.
