SSI T-Shirt — AAF 5th Air Force, 345th Bombardment Group, 498th Bomb Squadron (No Text)

Pure insignia. No caption required.

This is the no-text edition of the official Shoulder Sleeve Insignia (SSI) for the 498th Bomb Squadron, 345th Bombardment Group, 5th Air Force — the “Air Apaches” of the Pacific Theater. The graphic is rendered clean and uncluttered, exactly as it appeared on the uniforms of the B-25 Mitchell crews who flew low-level strikes across New Guinea, the Philippines, and Formosa.

If you know the 345th BG, you know what this insignia means. No text needed.
