ocsfollowme Posted April 16, 2015 Author #176 Posted April 16, 2015 Home Front, most likely a child's navy patch. Screams ww2 on the reverse.

ocsfollowme Posted April 19, 2015 Author #178 Posted April 19, 2015 Most likely a US children's patch or some home front item.
ocsfollowme Posted April 19, 2015 Author #179 Posted April 19, 2015 I really like this one. Ordnance Inspector. The base is on an overall uniform type fabric.
ocsfollowme Posted April 23, 2015 Author #181 Posted April 23, 2015 This is the 2nd one that I have ever seen. "Duncan Field Sub-Depot We Keep 'em Flying patch." This was from the San Antonio Air Depot.
ocsfollowme Posted April 28, 2015 Author #182 Posted April 28, 2015 I picked up three more "Victory" patches.
ocsfollowme Posted April 28, 2015 Author #183 Posted April 28, 2015 Here is a quartermaster mirror patch
Wake1941 Posted May 1, 2015 #185 Posted May 1, 2015 Really love this thread some really neat patches that in my opinion are under appreciated

phillock Posted May 28, 2015 #191 Posted May 28, 2015 I really like this one. Ordnance Inspector. The base is on an overall uniform type fabric. Screen Shot 2015-04-18 at 11.40.06 PM.jpg Hi Steve The fabric is called Herringbone its regarded as a Twill fabric. This would of been a lighter weight material used than the heavier HBT or Herringbone Twill uniform . I like variations like this compared to the standard twill used in most patches. Phill
phillock Posted May 28, 2015 #192 Posted May 28, 2015 Here is a bit of proof on this patch Screen Shot 2015-05-03 at 9.57.36 PM.jpg Great to see documentation with this patch. I always wondered what the relationship between the Army and Auxiliary Military police. Do you think that they would of only come under ASF for all branches assigned to ASF?? Phill

Phill Thanks for the knowledge on this one, Phill! The Boeing Aeronautical School is also Herringbone.

Do you think that they would of only come under ASF for all branches assigned to ASF?? Phill I bought the patch on eBay for $10 but the patch with certificate was $20-25. Since I only collect patches, I just went with the patch. It could be the camera, but it appears the thread was orange and yellow for these. It probably was ASF only as seen by this below patch. It is neat to see that the certificate above was ordnance.
phillock Posted May 29, 2015 #195 Posted May 29, 2015 Steve I'm impressed with that Green AMP ASF patch. I'm glad you saved the pic with the Certificate at least I can put the AMP into some context. Phill
ocsfollowme Posted May 29, 2015 Author #196 Posted May 29, 2015 It was the first reference that I have had for the AMP. I have a ton of variations of AMP patches. They fit in my collection better now.
ocsfollowme Posted June 7, 2015 Author #198 Posted June 7, 2015 Here is a home front patch that every kid seeking adventure would love. Hop Harrigan Says "Keep'EM Flying" All American Flying Club woven patch.
ocsfollowme Posted June 9, 2015 Author #199 Posted June 9, 2015 I was fortunate to win this still on my budget. I believe the other bidders were unsure if this was WW2 or not, but it is, and it pays to do your homework. I present you the Lockheed Overseas Corporation (LOC) patch These patches were worn by the US civilian staff at the Langford Lodge located in Ireland from 1942-1944. http://www.forgottenairfields.com/united-kingdom/northern-ireland/antrim/langford-lodge-s937.html http://www.ulsteraviationsociety.org/usaaf-in-northern-ireland/4537284067
ocsfollowme Posted June 30, 2015 Author #200 Posted June 30, 2015 Rolls Royce Packard built Aircraft Engines manufacture wings. Together, they created the Merlin engine for the P-51 Mustang. http://www.stallion51.com/p51-flight-ops/p51-merlin-engine.shtml "Few would dispute the Battle of Britain was won as a result of the Merlin II and III. Another significant development was the brilliant discovery of a simple idea, by Royal Aeronautical Establishment scientist Miss Shilling: A small metal diaphragm in the float chamber of the carburetor enabled the engine to continue running during negative G situations in combat."
