SSI - AAF - 5th AF - 345th BG - 499th Bomb Squadron T Shirt

SSI T-Shirt — AAF 5th Air Force, 345th Bombardment Group, 499th Bomb Squadron

The 345th Bombardment Group — the “Air Apaches” — was one of the most feared medium bomber units in the Pacific Theater during World War II. Flying B-25 Mitchells at treetop level, they struck enemy shipping, airfields, and supply lines across New Guinea, the Philippines, and Formosa with devastating precision.

The 499th Bomb Squadron was one of the four original squadrons that made up this legendary group. This tee carries their official Shoulder Sleeve Insignia (SSI) — a mark of belonging to one of the most decorated air units of the war.
