c7zx Posted June 30, 2014 Share #1 Posted June 30, 2014 Hello to all in the group! I'm new to the forum and need a little help identifing the squadron markings on a USAF P-3 helmet that I just acquired. It has a Cobra with lightning bolts and smoking a cigarette painted on both sides. Supposed to be out of Laughlin Air Force base in Texas from the 50's. Any info would be appreciated, Thanks, c7zx .

c7zx Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share #3 Posted June 26, 2015 Hello again, its been about a year since I posted this to the forum looking for information about what squadron this P-3 helmet may represent ? I came across a patch on Ebay that comes the closest I've found to date. This patch for the 37th Tactical Fighter Wing has a cobra and a lightning bolt. I can't find much on this Wing during the Korean War as it may have only existed on paper for a few months at the end of the war? Anyone know anything about this Wing or this patch ? Any info appreciated, C7zx . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
