AERO 84th Bombardment Squadron Aeroplane Apparel Company Velcro Hat

If you were a WWII G.I. under fire in Tunisia or on the beaches of Salerno, there was no sight sweeter than that of a U.S. Army Air Corps A-20 Havoc diving in from overhead. These light bombers were force multipliers that broke open the enemy lines and saved countless Allied soldiers that were under withering German fire. One of the units flying the Havoc was the 84th Bombardment Squadron, part of the 47th Bombardment Group. The 84th saw action throughout the Mediterranean theater of operations, bombing airfields in North Africa, blasting pathways for the invasion of Sicily and the Italian mainland, and conducting dangerous night missions over the Po River valley.
