(Disney, 1940s) A rare vintage Donald Duck patch designed by Disney for the 63rd Troop Carrier Squadron which served in the Pacific during World War II. As part of their contribution to the war effort, Disney artists created around 1,200 insignias for the U.S. military. The logos were extremely popular with the troops, offering levity and a reminder of home during difficult situations in the faraway theaters of combat. Disney eventually had to dedicate five artists to the task of keeping up with requests for custom designs. This embroidered patch features Donald Duck with lightning bolt, cloud, plane, and parachute package. Measuring 5.25"x5.5", the patch is in very good condition with only minor soiling to white portions from age.
