Skylighters, The Web Site of the 225th AAA Searchlight Battalion: The Antiaircraft Patch

About the Antiaircraft Patch

Though generally not worn during their tenure in the ETO, during training at Fort Sheridan and Camp Davis, many members of the 225th wore the so-called AA patch on their left shoulder, especially on their dress uniform, but sometimes on their field dress. Technically, the patch of the Antiaircraft Command, the AA denotes "antiaircraft." Red, white, and blue, as in all insignia of the period, are the national colors. The patch was worn from 18 December 1942 through 6 March 1947.
