In the following pages you can see part of my collection of patches aviation related. All my patches are ordered by country and all the country flags are sorted by alphabetical order . Just clicking on each flag you enter in another page where are showed you the patches. By some patches also I have inserted a link just to know the history of that department / wing / squadron / plane or other. I keep an amount of six hundred patches and a lot of patches come from USA ( last but one flag to click ) and Italy, my wonderful country. The " real age " of my patches starts from WWII at today passing through Vietnam ( thanks Julie and Kip ! ). Speaking about U.S.A., patches from Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard are inside the USAF page. Almost the totality of my collection is original, because from my point of view,an important thing that each patches collector has to keep in mind is the originality of the patches. By original I mean that each patch has to come from, as like as my case, Wings, Squadron or, to understand better, from the military world or from factories that work for military programs. Better, on my opinion the " true value " of a patch, is achieved when a patch is " used " . To acquire patches from patches resellers is not the best way to be close at the only important word for a patches collector :
