GeneralLucas Posted July 4, 2012 Share #1 Posted July 4, 2012 I have had this squadron type patch for sometime and I had always thought it was a Pep Cereal item because of the wording Peppy Pilots but I could never find any info on it. Have anyone ever seen one? It appears to be felt with a leather backing and almost 5 1/4 inches wide. I have included a picture of the back.

ithaca37 Posted July 22, 2012 Share #5 Posted July 22, 2012 This is most likely a Wichita East High School (Kansas) Pep Club patch. Wichita East's mascot is the Blue Aces. My mother was in the pep club that was called the Peppy Pilots. She said they didn't have a patch or uniforms when she was there (early50's). The school colors are blue and white. I suspect this was after her time at Wichita East. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Signor Posted July 23, 2012 Share #6 Posted July 23, 2012 Sounds like we may have found a match for the patch , always good to have more then one set of eyes looking or asking around ! If you could find the schools adress if it's still going maybe they would have a years book with a photo of your patch in it Johnny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
