SSI T-Shirt — AAF 5th Air Force, 345th Bombardment Group, 499th Bomb Squadron (No Text)

The insignia stands alone. No label needed.

This is the no-text edition of the official Shoulder Sleeve Insignia (SSI) for the 499th Bomb Squadron, 345th Bombardment Group, 5th Air Force — the “Air Apaches” of the Pacific Theater. The graphic is rendered clean and precise, 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.

No text. No explanation. Just the insignia — for those who recognize it.
