R. Watkins Posted October 12, 2011 Share #2 Posted October 12, 2011 Johnny, If the attached image is one of those your looking for this appeared in a 1943 (44?) edition of Popular Mechanics and was miss-labeled as the 401st Bomb Gp, but was actually the insignia of the 127th Airborne Engineer Battalion. You might want to double check with Disney Dave on the specifics of this image but I'm pretty sure it was a Hank Porter (Disney) design created sometime in 1943.

Bob Hey Bob, Much thanks for that one, I kind of had a feeling this one was "mis ID'd " seeing as Donald has the pick axe/shovel, it just didn't strike me as a "Bomber " unit, usualy Disney would work in a "Bomb/s" when they were , thankjs and at least I have the design and it's "Proper" ID !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Johnny Now I hope somone else can help on the others, my Birthday is the 15th of Oct, it would round out the day if I could get the others nailed down !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
