Description: This Indochina War French patch measures 2.3" by 3", used condition. During the Indochina War, which lasted from 1946 to 1954, the French Air Force played a critical role in providing air support to French ground forces fighting against Vietnamese insurgents. One of the French Air Force units that was deployed to Indochina was the PR 482 Squadron, which was based at Bien Hoa Air Base.The PR 482 Squadron was equipped with Douglas A-26 Invader aircraft, which were used for a variety of missions, including ground attack, reconnaissance, and interdiction. The squadron was responsible for conducting bombing raids on Viet Minh targets in support of French ground forces, as well as conducting reconnaissance missions to gather intelligence on enemy movements and positions.Bien Hoa Air Base, where the PR 482 Squadron was based, was a major French military installation in Vietnam, located about 20 miles northeast of Saigon. The air base was a key hub for French air operations in Indochina, and it was heavily defended with anti-aircraft guns and other defensive measures to protect against Viet Minh attacks.Despite the efforts of the French Air Force, the Indochina War ultimately ended in a French defeat, and the country withdrew its forces from Vietnam in 1954. The experience gained by the French Air Force during the war would later prove valuable in the development of air tactics and strategies for the United States during the Vietnam War.Worldwide combined shipment is welcome to save you money.
