WWII Fourteenth Air Force Dad Hat – Flying Tigers Legacy Aviation Cap

WWII Aviation History — China Theater
The Fourteenth Air Force was a WWII-era United States Army Air Forces numbered air force activated in March 1943 and assigned to the China Theater, China-Burma-India (CBI). Its wartime emblem—a leaping golden winged tiger on a blue disc with star and roundel—is documented in period records and photography and represents the official Fourteenth Air Force identity, often associated with the broader “Flying Tigers Air Force” legacy of U.S. air operations in China.
