SET-IN CREW NECK SWEAT SHIRTS "530th FTR-BOMB FLYING TIGERS"
This model features a print inspired by the 530th Fighter-Bomber Squadron, which was reorganized from the 384th Bombardment Squadron after the outbreak of World War II.
The unit was assigned to the 10th Air Force in 1943 and operated out of India before moving to China in August 1944 and becoming part of the 14th Air Force's United States Volunteer Force, known as the "Flying Tigers."
The design features an illustration of a flying tiger, inspired by the unit's nickname, alongside a clown unit insignia straddling a bomb.
The color scheme, a combination of off-white, blue, and red, matches the C.B.I. (China-Burma-India) theater insignia, showcasing meticulous attention to detail.
The fabric is a 100% cotton, fleece-lined sweatshirt fabric that is just the right thickness for excellent warmth.
The body features a seamless round knit with no side seams, improving comfort by eliminating rubbing against the skin.
The neck rib is made with a two-needle binder neck for excellent stretchability.
Flat-seam stitching on the main seams, such as the armholes and shoulders, minimizes bulk on the underside, reducing stress on the skin and enhancing comfort.
Outlock stitching on the sleeves and ribbing adds a subtle accent to the design.
Vintage-style details, such as a sewn-on V-gusset with a triangular gusset at the neck, long sleeves, and a ribbed hem, add a touch of class to this sweatshirt.
With the outbreak of World War II, the 384th Bombardment Squadron was reorganized as the 530th Fighter-Bomber Squadron. Assigned to the 10th Air Force in 1943 and based in India, it moved to China in August 1944 and was assigned to the 14th Air Force's Flying Tigers. The unit's insignia, featuring a clown riding a bomb, is exquisite, and the colors, matching the C.B.I. theater insignia, are also tasteful.
