    Description

    From its inception in 1975, the 4477th Test and Evaluation Squadron conducted tactical evaluations of a highly classified squadron of Soviet fighters in U.S. possession.
    The unit was based at Groom Lake until the late 1970s and early 1980s, when the 4477th provided million towards the initial construction of another classified operating location in Central Nevada: the Tonopah Test Range also known as Area 52.
    The 4477th seems to have been disbanded sometime in the early 1990s and its mission taken over by Detachment 2 of the 57th Fighter Wing. Eventually, this became Detachment 3 of the 53rd Test and Evaluation Group.
    This brand new patch is 4" length and 3 7/16" width and features a plastic backing.
    This patch comes from the recently published book
    "I Could Tell You Then You Would Have To Be Destroyed By Me.
