First Team Posted July 23, 2013 Share #226 Posted July 23, 2013 Here is an example of the very rare WAR AIR PHOTO patch from my Military Journalism collection. I believe this is British made as I acquired this piece from a family in the UK. Here's a rear view of the WAR AIR PHOTO piece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cherokee Posted October 10, 2013 Share #233 Posted October 10, 2013 Can anyone help my properly identify this patch? It appears to be late 1940's to late 1950's manufacture. I bought it as an Aviation School patch but cannot find any exact identification. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Patch size is 3 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cperkins501 Posted February 22, 2014 Share #245 Posted February 22, 2014 My very rare camouflage expert patch -------> No seriously, these are very nice patches. Keep 'em coming. Although not so rare as those depicted here, but still difficult to find; Erwin I've seen some patches very similar to this lately and have been wondering: are these for a specific tank destroyer unit, or for tank destroyer units in general?

cperkins501 Posted February 22, 2014 Share #246 Posted February 22, 2014 I know this one is rare, only 10 were made for the crew shown. This is a 'nose-art' patch painted on canvas. The a/c and crew were from the 453rd BG, 8th AF. The original owner is standing on the left-Mark MVC_007S.JPG MVC_003S.JPG Wow, doesn't get much rarer than that! Was this common practice for crews to make their own patches? I've never heard of that happening, only painting their flight jacket backs the same as the rest of the crew.

Salvage Sailor Posted February 5, 2016 Share #249 Posted February 5, 2016 Korean War patch - The fictitious mighty "USS CAINE" of the Caine Mutiny, in reality she was the USS THOMPSON (DMS-38) - Destroyer Minesweeper 38 ex (DD-627) Gleaves class with a short service life from 1943 to 1954. Converted to destroyer mine sweeper in 1945 World War II - Slapton Sands, Pointe Du Hoc, Normandy (where she delivered Admiral Ernest J. King and Generals Dwight D. Eisenhower, George C. Marshall, and Henry H. Arnold to the beaches), Operation Dragoon Korea - Train and junk buster along the North Korean coastline where she shot it out numerous times with shore batteries giving more than she got from them. Then it was off to Hollywood and stardom..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
