There are a series of large unit insignia used by Marine aviators on flight jackets, including the leather G-1 and G-2 jackets that were also worn by Navy pilots. The designs were similar to those used to mark aircraft, but were also worn as patches on the left upper chest area of flight jackets.
A three or more letter designator appears before the number of Marine aviation units. The first element "V" indicates heavier than air aircraft; as opposed to lighter than air aircraft, such as dirigibles. The next element "M" indicates a U.S. Marine Corps aviation unit. The remaining letter or letters indicate the type of unit. For example, "B" indicates a bomber unit. Other letters that may appear include "F" for fighter, "O" for observer, "SB" for Scout Bomber, "TB" for torpedo bomber, etc.
