M1A1-1944 Posted July 17, 2011 Author Share #27 Posted July 17, 2011 Just resurfacing to see if anyone can ID the Bugs Bunny characterization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Signor Posted July 17, 2011 Share #28 Posted July 17, 2011 Just resurfacing to see if anyone can ID the Bugs Bunny characterization. After you told me of what the wording says, I'm leaning towards a Repair/Modification Depot Squadron, they usually made changes and modifications to aircraft coming through them, hence "Bugs" saying "Any Changes Today Doc" , they would do gun arrangements,mods to the interiors etc etc , I sure hope someone can come up with this one !

M1A1-1944 Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share #29 Posted July 18, 2011 Thanks Johnny, that would make sense. Some of his early paperwork is engineer testing related. I wish I could determine when he went to the pacific and how long he spent with the Apaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Signor Posted July 19, 2011 Share #30 Posted July 19, 2011 I think if you put in your search bar the title 345th Air Apaches you should get a current reunion web page , I'm sure they have one , give it a try and tell them what you have , they usually have a unit historian that should be able to help with his ops etc !

American Heritage Posted July 21, 2011 Share #39 Posted July 21, 2011 Awesome group! thanks for letting us see it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwIIfighterpilots Posted July 21, 2011 Share #40 Posted July 21, 2011 Great grouping! So rare to see complete combat uniforms. Also love the patch. Maybe not PC in today's world where people protest logos at Braves and Indians games, but I have some Cherokee heritage so hopefully I can like it without offending anyone! Certainly don't mean to.

dmar836 Posted May 10, 2012 Share #41 Posted May 10, 2012 Quite a grouping. One anyone would be envious of.... including me. Did you ever source his A-2? Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey , it's a Great looking emblem, and beside the Indians were the "true" first Americans, the rest of us "white" people came over on boats form another country . They carried the emblem on the tails of thier unit B-25 's proudly and wore the patch the same way !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
