This web page contains a set of links leading to the details concerning a USAF aircraft from the Vietnam War. The details of Patches arose from a
chance encounter between two old Vets both on canes who met on a beautiful afternoon on the Beaufort, NC boardwalk/pier.
While the ladies exchanged pleasantries the Vets (Dan and Tom) began the story telling. The highlight of the "story telling" was Patches
and the effort to insure its place in history.
The audio file and information specific to Patches was provided by Dan Masson.
