Does anyone recognize this squadron patch?

 

Could be any of the branches as it is on one of the early 37J type model flight jackets.

 

Super well made. I'm leaning more towards Navy but I could be totally wrong.

Just a SWAG, but that looks like a Goshawk to me

I've spent a few hours on this one learning about aviation from the 1930s. I emailed the Naval Aviation Museum.

 

Do you think that it is a blimp or a bomb? What does the red dot symbolize?

I was also leaning towards an "Airship"

I've been wondering if it could have something to do with the 12th Observation. I know that none of the insignia that I have found has the star, but they all have the orange circle.

I'd say that's a match or at the least you're on the right track. Good patch detective work
