U.S. Army Patches, Flashes and Ovals brings together in a colorful source more than 3500 cloth insignia worn by U.S. soldiers from World War I to the present.

The book, with its sharp, vivid, photos takes a snapshot profile of each unit.

It includes:

  • wear or approval dates
  • campaigns credits and unit decorations
  • anecdotal historical unit data
  • over 3600 patches in color
  • unit location
  • an excellent index
