Johnny Signor Posted August 27, 2013 Share #2 Posted August 27, 2013 Not an "Official" unit ,but I'm leaning towards either a Night Fighter Squadron AAF, or possibly a "Nose art" type ........................................................ Try checking some of the aircraft "nose art" sites .......................... Johnny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDK Posted August 27, 2013 Share #3 Posted August 27, 2013 I'm with you Johnny. I would tend to lean towards aircraft nose art, but I can also see a night fighter theme there. Either way I think it's a really cool patch! JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Signor Posted August 30, 2013 Share #4 Posted August 30, 2013 Oh Yeah , that is a Nice find , especially being on the jacket !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northcoastaero Posted August 30, 2013 Share #5 Posted August 30, 2013 On flickr.com there is a similar image on the nose of a B-24L or M from the 493rd BS 7th BG 10th AF. I realize it is not the 15th AF. I will do more research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_lits Posted August 31, 2013 Share #7 Posted August 31, 2013 Patched up A2s are pretty awesome and you have a nice one. Good luck on the hunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Signor Posted September 2, 2013 Share #8 Posted September 2, 2013 Could the wearer have been 15th then 10th AAF or vice versa , the B-24 nose art may tie in that way ................................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
