Most are from my collection. There are some from allbranches of the services, and many specialized duty ones. Many ofthe logo were designed by Walt Disney Studio and Warner Brothers Studios.Some designs were in existence prior to World War Two, but with the massiveexpansion of air power during WWII, a huge number of new designs for brandnew squadrons were approved (some logos / insignias were worn without officialapproval as well). After the allied victory in 1945, most squadronswere disbanded and their insignia were relegated to history. A goodbook to read on the subject is "Disney Dons Dog Tags". It's the story ofhow Disney's artists spent their time expertise making up squadroninsignias for the units and sent them to the troops in the field.See Also:"Disney's influencealso included studio artists, who joined the military and then contributedtheir talents to the creation of nose art. Disney Studios and the U.S.government had a history of cooperation. At the beginning of the war in1939, Walt Disney and his artists designed and painted squadron and unitinsignia. Disney raised the spirit of the troops when he transformed the"once staid military heraldry format created during World War I" into inspireddesigns (Ethell, p. 141). By the end of World War II, Disney's five-manstaff assigned to insignia completed over 1,200 unit insignias, never charginga fee to the military (Ethell, p. 142)."-(University of Arizona Library -- Images of the Southwest -- MilitaryAircraft Nose Art: An American Tradition webpage, 5th paragraph)Disney Insignias appeared on the airplanes as well as the jackets offliers. Here is a link to some good examples of DisneyCharacters appearing as Nose Art.Disney established a partnership with RKO Studios in the 1930's, whenR.K.O. agreed to distribute Walt Disney's Films. RKO studios went intodecline in 1948 under the micro management of Howard Hughes, of SpruceGoose Fame, who bought controlling interest in the company. The studio'sassets were sold off. Even the land was sold to Desi-Lu productions in1957.-(RKO studios- by Noell Wolfgram Evans, 6th 9th paragraphs)Why would a studio make squadron patch insignia?The same reason that IBM Rock-Olajuke box company made M1Carbine Rifles. M-1Carbine Rifle Link 2. It was a war, and everyone contributed what theycould to the war effort.Thereare several insignia that are listed as unknown. If you know what the identityof a squadron currently listed as 'unknown' is, or if you see any errors,please e-mail me sothat I can update this list. I cannot (sorry) offer my servicesto help anyone ID their own patches unfortunately. You will justhave to search here and in other resources for a match. I am notan expert on patches, I started this collection because I thought theywere neat to look at. Patch collecting takes a back seat (pun intended)to my WWII jeep collection.Feel free to post a free 'Wanted' ad, 'For Sale' notice, or questionto the WWII Squadron Patch Free BULLETINBOARD.There has been a strong responsefrom visitors wanting high resolution pictures of these patches.So we are currently working on putting high resolution pictures of theentire collection on CD rom which I could then offer for sale. Ifyou would like to be notified as soon as we have finished the CD rom, pleaseemail me telling me so.If you have a web site/page aimed at a Squadron thatI have a patch for and you would like to have the patch image / photo linkedto your website/webpage of this squadron, Please emailme. I would also enjoy being linked to as well!!Please feel free to do so.Ihave provided some buttons and a link generator tool you may use forplacement of our link on your site, should you choose to.NOTE: This List is different than the 'WWII JeepList'. You would need to sign up for each one separately.I hate spammers, so I won't do it to you. I won'tsell/give/trade your name away to spammers.I would rather be doing other things than writinge-mail, so don't expect me to e-mail you every day, or even every weekfor that matter.When it is in both of our interests for me tonotify you, that's when you will hear from me.This site is a memberof WebRing.

Althought the designationnumber is the same the 13th Air Transport Squadron and the 13th Troop CarrierSquadrons did much of the same missions they are not the same units. thelineage for the Ferry lineage traces back to WWII's Air Transport Command(A Non Combat - Logistics unit tasked to move supplies and equipment fromthe States to the forward areas) while the Troop Carrier Squadrons deliveredmen and equipment at the front lines and were combat units. Post war bothexisted in the same way with ATS's working for MATS and the the TCS's workingfor TAC and the forward Commands. In 1966 Both types of units were renamedas Airlift Squadrons the ATS's becoming "Military Airlift Squadrons" andthe TCS's becoming "Tactical Airlift Squadrons" with a theater role. In1991 there were both renamed as "Airlift Squadrons" causing some unitsto be renumbered due to duplication. It is also posted on the Unknown or"Can You Identify" section on the USAFpatches.com website and has beenmisidentified as a 13th Troop Carrier Squadron. I am working on obtainingthe information from Maxwell AFB (USAF Historical Research Agency) aboutthis insignia. 14th Army Air Force was created March 10, 1943, and absorbedthe CATF.

Dad was inthe 17th BG and was shot down over Toulon Harbar, France August 20, 1944.Only 2 survived. Dad and George Moscovis. I am trying to recreate his A-2flight Jacket and am trying to locate Insignia that he would have had onhis A-2. I don't necessarily have to have original Insignia but that wouldbe great. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Tim McCluskeyHi Tim, Nice to write to you. Thanks for writting me. Wow, what a greatstory! I have the kicking mule patch here somewhere - probably take a monthat least to find it. I might even have 2 of them. email me in 4-5 weeksto see if I have found it yet. Brian Brian, Thanks for getting back tome. I'm attaching the picture of Dad's B-26 as well as the link to theB-26 Mauraders Historical Society. My brother has the original photo, weused to have the negatives for this photo given to Dad by the photographerwho took it. Can't seem to find it now - probably gone in the directionof his A-2 flight jacket. I am scanning some photos of Dad to send to theArchivists at PIMA, right now they don't have any. Also, Chuck O'Mohneyis writing an article for Flight Journal this Fall/Winter issue about #50'Flossie's Fury', (in search of the noseart, next!). Chuck has writtena book and several articles about WWII. Very interesting stuff. I'll sendyou a copy when it's published. I have a rough draft now but wouldn't wantit to get into circulation until it hits the newstands. This whole B-26historical kick I've been on was kind of a fluke - just surfing the weband found The B-26 Mauraders Historical Society web page and this photo.This is the second time in my life that I've stumbled across this photo,once as a kid at the newstand found this in a WWII aviation magazine, quitebizzar, huh? I'll get back to you in 4-5 weeks. Love to get a hold of thispatch would mean a great deal to me. Also looking for the 95th BG patch,Also attached below. Thanks in advance. Tim http://www.b-26marauderarchive.org/PH/B26/P978.htmhttp://www.web-birds.com/12th/17/17.htm Toujous Au Danger "Ever into Danger"Tim, Thanks for the pics. I am going to add them to my website along withour correspondence. That's the reward for me - I love hearing the stories helping today’s generation touch and establish a connection withthe WWII generation. I look forward to seeing the article you spoke of.Thanks! Take care, Brian Hello Brian, Respectfully request permission forany images you may have of 22nd BG 2nd squadron "Red Raiders" patches,logos, ect. My Grandfather's name was Joseph F. Champion and flew withthe Red Raiders during WW2 over Okinawa, Japan and the Phillipines. Havingserved the Navy for 12 years (yeah I'm a lifer I guess LOL) and maintainedjets for 3 different squadrons, I've developed quite an appetite for anysquadron history for my personal family archives; ESPECIALLY my Grandpa'sold squadron. There is very little out there that I've been able to find.And I'd be VERY interested in purchasing a Red Raider squadron patch orlogo regardless of vintage authenticity. (although the real McCoy wouldbe considered a real gem) Either the red norseman, or the bird in the whitediamond pointing to the left. Any permission of images, arrangements ofpurchases for patches ect would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you for takingthe time to read. Truely, John E. Champion AT2 (AW) USN AIMD OCEANA VAHello, Thank you for your service to our country! And for your father'sas well. I only have the one patch as present. Here is a high res pic asyou requested.

I was trying to research a patch I came uponwhen I found your site and I am in awe.... The one I have is similar tothe one you have listed as the 367th Bomb Squadron, 8th AAF but there aresome differences. First, I was wondering why there is a nine on your patch,even though it is for the 8th AAF? Mine is a canvas patch with roughlythe same facial figure but facing left and with a protruding red tongue,one drop of red blood hanging. It is yellow-orange with a blue border,brown face with whiskers, blue helmet goggles, sharp white teeth,no number associated. The shape of the patch is lobate, with four distinctlobes, (sort of a truncated clover shape.) The colors almost bleed throughthe patch and the artwork appears to be silkscreen. I would appreciateany info you might have and thanks again for the great site, Ray Hi Ray.Thanks for writing me. I am glad you liked the website. This patch actuallysat on the UNKNOWN page for 2 months. Then it was ID'd, and then re-ID'das the 1st ID was said to be wrong. This patch is becoming a pain :) Ihave no idea about whether it is indeed a "9" or just an earpiece for theheadphones. I will post this to the page in hopes someone will come forwardwith more information. Take care, Brian Subj: Re: 324th website Date: 8/14/200212:59:24 PM Pacific Daylight Time From: mlumsden@charter.net Hello Brian.I see no objection to adding the squadron logos to your site for the 314thand 315th. I see that you already have the 316th from the 324th group (whichhas its own logo). You have undoubtedly noted that the 315th had two logos-- the first being the Bugs Bunny and the second the Crusaders. It wouldbe historically accurate to use both.

After August 1944it changed to the "Tough Kitties" patch with a cat and skull design. Ithink it was late in the war after moving to the USS Lexington that theywent to the "Slow Time Turtle" patch, but I am not 100% on that.

JUST ID'd ww2 german navy machinist seeebay ad Dave found JUST ID'd 13th Air Corps Ferry Squadron Later: Designatedthe 13th Ferrying Squadron and 13th Air Transport Squadron and the 13thAeromedical Transport Squadron This is the 13th Air Corps Ferry SquadronLater: Designated as the 13th Ferrying Squadron and 13th Air TransportSquadron and the 13th Aeromedical Transport Squadron. Althought the designationnumber is the same the 13th Air Transport Squadron and the 13th Troop CarrierSquadrons did much of the same missions they are not the same units. thelineage for the Ferry lineage traces back to WWII's Air Transport Command(A Non Combat - Logistics unit tasked to move supplies and equipment fromthe States to the forward areas) while the Troop Carrier Squadrons deliveredmen and equipment at the front lines and were combat units. Post war bothexisted in the same way with ATS's working for MATS and the the TCS's workingfor TAC and the forward Commands. In 1966 Both types of units were renamedas Airlift Squadrons the ATS's becoming "Military Airlift Squadrons" andthe TCS's becoming "Tactical Airlift Squadrons" with a theater role. In1991 there were both renamed as "Airlift Squadrons" causing some unitsto be renumbered due to duplication. It is also posted on the Unknown or"Can You Identify" section on the USAFpatches.com website and has beenmisidentified as a 13th Troop Carrier Squadron. I am working on obtainingthe information from Maxwell AFB (USAF Historical Research Agency) aboutthis insignia. Thanks to Nick Devereux for help in identifying severalpatches, and adding more unkowns to the page. Great work! Brian Thanksto Terry L Horstead for help in identifying several patches on the 'unkowns'page. Brian Subj: ID the patch Date: 3/2/2003 8:50:45 PM Pacific StandardTime From: wmckee@utech.net The patch identified as #x on your listingis the patch for the 440th Air Base Group and the training squadrons atSanta Maria Army Air Field. I have the history of the patch, includinga copy of the official drawing from the Air Force Office of Heraldry, pixof the patch on noses of P-38s at SMAAF, etc., and even the name of thedesigner. The following is a quote from part of our history: "In the fallof 1944 a contest was held at the Santa Maria Army Air Field (SMAAF) toselect a "patch" to represent the base mission, and to enhance the moraleof the personnel assigned. This emblem would be applied to aircraft assignedto the 440th Air Base Unit, the parent unit at SMAAF, and provide an "identity"for those serving at the base. Several designs were submitted. A man assignedto Squadron "E" SSgt. Fred D. Meek, submitted the winning design. It wassubmitted to headquarters for approval in October 1944. Sergeant Meek receiveda war bond for this design, and was featured in "Fighter Pilot," the basenewspaper." I can send via email a JPEG file of the original artwork, ifit would do you any good. We would love to locate one of the patches likethis one, if you know of a source. Bill Mckee Historian, Santa Maria Museumof Flight. Thanks To Richard Whitaker for the ID of #xx sorry, no freejackets today :( Brian, Sqdrn patch #x (patch now moved to correct page unknown number reassigned) @ your unknown list is 4th Combat CargoSquadron formed 4/15/44 and re designated 329th Troop Carrier Sqdn on 9/29/45after service in the CBI theaters and as "Hump Pilots" @ WW2. Is therea prize for I.D.? Nothing big... maybe just a mint condition A2 with originalfirst issue Blood Chits and hand painted squadron insignia? Best regards,Richard Whitaker Brian, The patch in block# XX (patch now moved to correctpage unknown number reassigned) on your unidentified page is fromthe 504th PIR of the 82nd AB. If you could return a favor, It would begreat if you could send me a hi-res image of the VT-11 patch. My grandmother'sbrother was a member of Torpedo Squadron Eleven on board the USS Hornetfrom 1943-1945. He was shot down over Formosa (Taiwan) and never found.I have never seen an original patch before from VT-11. If you ever wantto sell it please let me know.
