Vietnam US Helicopter Door Gunner Wing Sterling
This is a museum quality sterling reproduction of an unofficial wing used by US Helicopter crews and can be found on page 19 of Vietnam Order of Battle. This wing is cast as was the original and is stamped 925 which means sterling. This is one of an entire series of wings made in the back alleys of Saigon. This is unusual in that it was made as a Door Gunner. Many reproductions of this wing have been made but this is the only one that is exactly like the original.

I asked if there was anything for the United States role in the invasion of the Dominican Republic 1965. At that time there wasn't , but I contacted the owner and he said they would look into it.
There is now a Operation Power Pack patch, 1965-1966. 82nd Airborne Division was present there for over a year. During the Invasion there were 44 KIA. This event was over shadowed by the Vietnam War.
THANKS making the Patch. MACK
