Siamundo Posted June 24, 2018 Share #1 Posted June 24, 2018 I have another patch I am trying to pin down an ID on and hope someone can confirm something one way or the other. On the surface it seems pretty easy to ID but I have not been able to find any information at all on line. The second character on the scroll is a little unclear but I am guessing it says VB-73. I think the embroidery is post WW II so I am not sure it would be Navy Bombing Squadron. Although the color are entirely different, blue instead of red, and the bird is different, the basic shape and design is very similar to Navy Attack Squadron 22. VA-22's only previous designation I could find though was VF-63 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffro Posted June 24, 2018 Share #3 Posted June 24, 2018 The patch is for VS-73. Anti-submarine squadron flying the S2F aircraft. They were called the "Blue Bandits". Jeffro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siamundo Posted June 24, 2018 Author Share #4 Posted June 24, 2018 Aha.Thank you very much Jeffro! I tried turning that second character into both a 'B' and an '8' but it never dawned on me it might be an 'S'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
