Original Immediate Post World War Two 1946 US Army Air Forces Materiel Command Shoulder Sleeve Insignia Patch. Lots of “Snow” on the reverse!
The Air Corps Maintenance Command was established under the Materiel Division on June 25, 1941 - less than a week after the creation of the USAAF itself on June 20, 1941 - to control supply and maintenance and retained the "Air Corps" designation that remained in effect for the USAAF's training and logistics units. On 11 December 1941, with United States newly engaged in World War II, these four functions were divided between two organizations.
