The Story
Original Item. Only One Available. Wright Aeronautical (1919–1929) was an American aircraft manufacturer headquartered in Paterson, New Jersey. It was the successor corporation to Wright-Martin. It built aircraft and was a supplier of aircraft engines to other builders in the golden age of aviation. Wright engines were used by Amelia Earhart and Charles Lindbergh. In 1929, the company merged with Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Corporation to form Curtiss-Wright. During World War II, the Paterson plant had 24,000 employees, working in three daily shifts. They made some 75,000 engines for the B-25, the Boeing B-17, and other aircraft.
This is a really tremendous jacket/smock patch worn by employees of the Wright Aircraft Engines division of Curtiss-Wright. This patch was likely worn by an employee working at the Paterson plant, which closed in 1946. It measures 7⅛ x 9¾”. There is some wear but the embroidering is tremendous.
A fantastic patch, ready for further research and display.
