trubia26 Posted September 13, 2012 Share #1 Posted September 13, 2012 Hello there! Pleased to be here again with all of you! Well, after the "Hello!", the real question: I have seen several uniforms from engineer personnel in USAAF (in fact I have seen in here too: http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/ind...howtopic=113702 ) and I was wondering about the badges...I have seen these uniforms with Engineers badges (the castle) and USAAF patch...but about this badge: Is this a badge for Engineers Corps in USAAF (with the castle in their jackets)...or just for USAAF personnel? (with the winged propeller in their jackets). Thanks a lot for your help!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
