Korean People’s Army Air Force Winged Star Patch

This embroidered patch is a reproduction of the emblem associated with the Korean People’s Army Air Force (KPAAF), the aerial warfare branch of North Korea’s military. The design features a bold red star set against a white field, with stylized white and blue wings sweeping outward to the right. Measuring 5 inches wide by 2 inches tall, it reflects the streamlined winged star motif seen in official KPAAF insignia and aircraft markings, symbolizing speed, air power, and revolutionary spirit.

The KPAAF, formerly known as the Air and Anti-Air Force, plays a central role in defending North Korean airspace and supporting ground and naval forces. Its insignia frequently incorporates the red star of socialism and sweeping wing designs to emphasize the branch’s role in aerial dominance. This patch offers a crisp and simplified version of that imagery, suitable for collectors, reenactors, and enthusiasts of Cold War-era military aviation.

This item is a non-authentic reproduction intended for historical and educational purposes, as well as for display in private collections. It is not meant to promote any political stance or ideology.
