USAAC 4th ERS Patch

U.S Army Air Corps / 4th Emergency Rescue Squadron Patch
Very rare patch from the early days.
 
The United States Army Air Corps (USAAC) was the statutory administrative forerunner of the United States Air Force. Renamed from the earlier United States Army Air Service on 2 July 1926, it was part of the larger United States Army and the immediate predecessor of the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF), established on 20 June 1941. Although discontinued as an administrative echelon in 1942 during World War II, the Air Corps (AC) remained as one of the combat arms of the Army until 1947, when it was legally abolished by legislation establishing a United States Department of Defense consisting of a Department of the Army (formerly the War Department), Department of the Navy and Department of the Air Force.
