Description: 42nd Bombardment Wing 1970s Patch – With Hook and Loop, 3.25" 42nd Bombardment Wing 1970s Patch Pilots and Crew! Fly again with the 42nd Bombardment Wing 1970s with the beautifully embroidered patch. Youll be able to wear this patch proudly. 3.25 inch Embroidered US Veteran-Owned Business Reproduction The 42nd Bombardment Wing was initially activated in 1953 with Convair B-36 Peacemakers as a component of Strategic Air Commands heavy bomber force. After two years flying the Peacemaker, it became the second wing to fly the Boeing B-52 Stratofortress, and the first to convert to the B-52 from propeller-driven bombers. The wing maintained half of its planes on alert throughout the Cold War, and increased its alert commitment for the Lebanon crisis of 1958 and the Cuban Missile Crisis. The wing also provided aircraft and crews for the Vietnam War and First Gulf War. The wing was consolidated with the group into a single unit in 1985. The consolidated unit was inactivated when its home station, Loring Air Force Base, closed in 1994. The wing was activated several months later as 42nd Air Base Wing, replacing the 502nd Air Base Wing as the host organization for Maxwell Air Force Base (now Maxwell-Gunter Air Force Base), Alabama. It has supported all Air Force units in the Montgomery, Alabama region since that time. 42nd Bombardment Wing 1970s Patch – With Hook and Loop, 3.25" 42nd Bombardment Wing 1970s Patch Pilots and Crew!
