US NAVY FIGHTER SQUADRON VF-31 " FELIX THE CAT "- VIETNAM WAR PATCH

Description: The size of this patch is 3" x 3.5".A number of fighter squadrons have been designated VF-3, most before World War II. The first VF-3 was established on 1 July 1922 and was disestablished in May 1924. The second VF-3 was established when VF-6B was re-designated VF-3 on 1 July 1937. VF-3 served aboard USS Saratoga and the USS Yorktown until the Battle of Midway. After Midway, the squadron served in several other posts, including the USS Enterprise until the end of the war. The commanding officer of the squadron during 1942 was then - Lieutenant Commander John Thach. After the battle of Midway, VF-3 and VF-6 swapped designations on 15 July 1943, resulting in a three year controversy as to which squadron owned the Felix name and emblem until VF-3 was re-designated VF-3A on 15 November 1946 and awarded the official approval to adopt Felix the Cat by the Chief of Naval Operations. VF-3A was then re-designated VF-31 on August 7, 1948.-SATISFACTION IS GUARANTEED OR YOUR MONEY BACK.-COMBINED SHIPMENT OF MULTIPLE ITEMS IS REDUCED TO SAVE YOU MONEY.-PAYPAL PAYMENT IS ACCEPTED.
