I found another box of my late father's Vietnam stuff (71-73), some patches, Tripoli, New Orleans and a Desert Duck Airlines patch. Doesn't seem to fit. I guess that is the question. they're were also some combat wings in there, so I thought maybe it does.
After looking around the web, all the patch versions are completely different than the one I have. I was hoping someone could help me identify the era of the patch, and how the hell someone in vietnam got a the desert patch? trade, maybe. At the least I'd like to know what I'm looking at.
patch descript.:
Sword, there aren't any letters and doesn't look like the curved scimitar.
Eyes, look like left parentheses with dots, not cross-eyed
duck bill, lower bill sticks out more than top
Star around neck
not holding a shield, wing extends from robe.
clearly both feet extend way out from the robe and wearing weaved sandals, bright orange feet
over all thinner duck, it would be like comparing a 1920's mickey mouse to a 2012 version.
Your expertise is appreciated. Many thanks in advance.
