5thwingmarty Posted November 30, 2014 Share #27 Posted November 30, 2014 Not pictures of patches but still Snoopy at war. There are from the 1968 yearbook for the 99th Bomb Wing, Snoopy and the other Peanuts characters are used throughout the book, but these photos show Snoopy went to war on the sides of a number of the Wing's B-52s.

itshistory Posted November 30, 2014 Author Share #28 Posted November 30, 2014 295th HHC, this unit trained the other CH-54 units going to Vietnam. Copies of this patch made in Vietnam exist, probably made by former unit members who were later sent over. IH Air traffic unit. IH This has no association to a specific unit so it probably got used by many as a generic expression. Seems to USMC associated. IH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siamundo Posted December 1, 2014 Share #34 Posted December 1, 2014 There has certainly been some great Snoopy stuff posted thus far. Rather than duplicate some already shown, I thought I might add a few more. My guess is the top top of this was to be left blank in filled in later with a specific unit or name or whatever. A whole litter of puppies of various sizes to be sewn on flight jackets, party suits or helmet bags. For size comparision there is a quarter included, One of my favorites which does show a little wear around the edges but still is a classic. Technically not a patch, but the cover of a unit history for the 146th Aviation Company. Everyone's favorite Snoopy and the urine test patch. Technically not a specific unit, but a rather amusing novelty patch. I think this is Thai made. And another. Although not Snoopy, we can't forget his sidekick Woodstock. Or that blockhead Charley Brown. I have seen a couple different variations of this patch recently from the 433rd Tactical Fighter Squadron with 433rd TFS on the bomb but missing the Phantom II at the top. A more recent patch with velcro on the back. I am not positive what Snoopy is holding but I think it resembles a condom. And last but not least another classic Snoopy novelty patch.

Siamundo Posted June 18, 2017 Share #42 Posted June 18, 2017 A similar patch to the one posted in #43 but with a different date. A nice Vietnamese chain stitch example. I am guessing Maverick 38 was a call sign. A mixed assortment of some period examples. A nice handmade example of C Flight from an unknown squadron. And one of my favorites.

patches Posted June 19, 2017 Share #43 Posted June 19, 2017 Here are some Zippos with snoopy on them, I partly redacted two of the inscriptions, but you know what it says . Believe it or not there was actually at one time a LZ Charlie Brown. Americal Quang Ngai Province I Corps. There was also an LZ Peanuts, opened by the 1st Cav Div in the spring of 1968 in Quang Tin Province, during Operation Pegasus (The relief of Khe Sahn), pretty sure it was named Peanuts in honor of Charlie Brown and company . http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/uploads//monthly_09_2016/post-1761-0-42677800-1472904624.jpgA 9th Div Mech Inf unit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siamundo Posted June 21, 2017 Share #45 Posted June 21, 2017 This is the largest Snoopy patch I have run across. I think he is firing a .50 caliber but I am not positive. I have heard that this type of olive drab backing was made from sandbag material as used in Vietnam, but I do not know if that is entirely correct. At 10" across, it was probably intended for wear on the back of a jacket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
