walika Posted December 29, 2018 Share #4 Posted December 29, 2018 The sateen 71st is a classic and one of my favorites. My 382nds are on wool. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Scott Posted December 29, 2018 Author Share #5 Posted December 29, 2018 Thank you all for your help on the ID on those two squadrons. I have a question why does it not show a 382nd Bomb squadron in either Mauer and Mauer or in Polders books.Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted December 29, 2018 Share #6 Posted December 29, 2018 Scotty, the 382 BS was redesignated the 528 Fighter in 1943. In 1946 it was redesignated the 132 FS and allotted to the ANG. They used this design for quite some time in Maine. Not sure if the OP is 382 or 528 related, Mauer shows no approved design. Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
