439th Signal Battalion Posted August 30, 2015 Share #76 Posted August 30, 2015 Insignia for the 64th Fighter Wing, XII Tactical Air Command (9th and 12th Army Air Forces), which supplied tactical air support for all the units seen below. My grandfather was a lineman and crew leader in Company B of the 439th Signal Battalion, which constructed and maintained the communications between the 64th Fighter Wing and several of the ground units depicted on the poster below (mainly the 45th Infantry Division).

Now we got to find a patch on a cupcake, a round one like the 89th Div, which would be perfect with it's Black Rolling W motif on a brown chocolate background Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doinworkinvans Posted October 15, 2015 Share #88 Posted October 15, 2015 Now - that is pretty interesting! Huge fan of the 10th AF and the Pacific groups. I would have figured that would've been phased out long before '51....did that Continental patch stay alive a lot longer? Is that "technically" a post-war patch?

My grandmother worked at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia in the 50's and they were a depot of the 14th Air Force. I think somewhere I have some old mimeographs or letterhead of hers that show the old 14th Flying Tigers patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know how long in it's original shoulder patch form, but it crops up again down the line a your standard/typical pocket patch. On the continued wear of shoulder patches in the new USAF, are you familiar with this topic? loads of photos with AF personnel wearing shoulder patches well into the 50s are seen. http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/5846-post-wwii-50s-60s-us-air-force-uniform-photos/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
