gwb123 Posted April 9, 2015 Share #3 Posted April 9, 2015 Kume Shima is an island west of Okinawa. http://www.geographic.org/geographic_names/name.php?uni=-352236&fid=3269&c=japan It has an airfield. It is quite possible we had a detachment there at one time. http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e7175.html The colors actually look more like something you would see from the Marine Corps, but that could be coincidence.

gwb123 Posted April 9, 2015 Share #4 Posted April 9, 2015 Then I found this... very random, but notes about USAF and USN units that were there... http://www.kumejima.warwickhi.com/Guestbook.pdf Looks like USAF 623rd AC&W Det 2 had a radar site there. Check out this reunion page.. https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/KumeJimaOkinawa/info And some more patches.. http://623acw1.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefighter Posted April 9, 2015 Share #5 Posted April 9, 2015 That is a cool patch.Didn't the scorpion mean some kind of special unit within the AP & SP squadrons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
