Genuine WWII American shoulder sleeve insignia of the 8th Air Force 'Mighty Eight'.

This unit was the first American air force to arrive in Europe in 1942, where until the end of the war it carried out dangerous bombing missions in France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany to destroy the German war infrastructure.

It is the unit recording the highest casualties rate amongst all the other of the American armed forces (26.000 KIA and 28.000 POW).

In June 1944, it flew numerous sorties over Normandy's skies.
