BILL THE PATCH Posted July 1, 2015 #204 Posted July 1, 2015 Really like this topic, so I had to dig some of my home front patches out.

ocsfollowme Posted July 7, 2015 Author #208 Posted July 7, 2015 Western Signal Aviation Unit Training Center shoulder sleeve insignia. This unit was located at Camp Pinedale CA. I have been wanting one of these for a long time and picked one up from witchitaslumlord for $45. I can now say that I own a piece from that collection. This for some reason, is one of the cheapest school patches from WW2, and I do not know why.
BILL THE PATCH Posted July 9, 2015 #212 Posted July 9, 2015 I think, it is a greenback. Perhaps kids patch?

Lee Ragan Posted August 7, 2015 #215 Posted August 7, 2015 The CAP encampment patches in number 205, are all post WWII. They didn't appear until 1949 and were used up until the mid 1950's.
ocsfollowme Posted August 7, 2015 Author #216 Posted August 7, 2015 Both of these came in today. I believe that they are cadet patches during WW2. To what school, I do not know.
ocsfollowme Posted August 8, 2015 Author #217 Posted August 8, 2015 I think this is now my 3rd or 4th Curtiss Wright variation now

wildcat123 Posted August 11, 2015 #220 Posted August 11, 2015 Very nice! A friend and I were looking through some wartime Beech newsletters the other day. There was a section for fire department news and it had this design over it, we wondered if the patch existed. Mystery solved!

wildcat123 Posted August 11, 2015 #222 Posted August 11, 2015 Cool, assuming it was worn on garrison style caps like the reserve guard and guardettes patches.
ocsfollowme Posted August 11, 2015 Author #223 Posted August 11, 2015 Came in the mail today: High School Victory Corps Instructor patch. I have a felt blue disc with the rifles on it too. These are sometimes found on a red V. This is the only one that I have seen in 9 years of collecting.
