Eagle Squadron Sleeve Insignia

An embroidered cloth patch featuring an eagle with outstretched wings with the letters E.S. to the top. This item is understood to have belonged to 1st Lt. John F. Lutz of 334 Fighter Squadron who piloted a P-47C and was killed in action on 4th May, 1943. While we have nothing to substantiate this provenance, the item came from a small private collection we purchased and we believe the information to be correct. 3" x 2.75" (8 cm x 7.5 cm).
