This is an original 426th Night Fighter Squadron patch given to me by a friend of my fathers in the mid 70s. He was a pilot with the unit and flew in China, killing a lot of trains as he put it. This patch was identical to the patch sewn to his flight jacket which I also had but lost to an unscrupulous adult (collector) as a 12 year old kid. I saw the Jacket on line years ago but was unable to locate the owner that posted the jacket, I would love to buy it back. The pilots name was Craig Elrod. This patch was never sewn on.

Read”Queen of the Midnight Sky”, your library may have it. Unbelievable stories, as the one where the crew finds a Japanese head stuck to the lower rear stablizer during their AM walk around after a mission.
