Dark blue background with an image of the US Armys Master Parachutist wings in white. Above the wing are the shoulder sleeve insignia of two of the most distinguished airborne divisions of the US Army, the 82nd and the 101st.
Below the wings is the word AIRBORNE in white.

This flag has no official status and is intended for the mass market, primarily form sale to parachute veterans of WWII, Korea and Vietnam for reunions or home use.

It is most likely that this flag was printed in Taiwan.
