easystreet Posted January 19, 2019 Share #1 Posted January 19, 2019 Gents, I have three patches I could use some help identifying. I moved earlier this year and all of my good reference books are still packed and in storage. The Middle one with the Bulls Head, I believe is a USAF Squadron patch from the 1950s for either a B-58 or B-36 Squadron. I was able to identify it from this forum a couple years ago, but somehow the card that I had written the info down on got separated from the patch, and that is the best I can remember (and I could be totally wrong and confusing it with a different patch ???). Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated. Rich Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

easystreet Posted January 19, 2019 Author Share #5 Posted January 19, 2019 Here it is Rich, 5th SRW patch (1949–1955) Scroll Down http://www.wikiwand.com/en/5th_Bomb_Wing Wow. Thank's a ton for this. I seemed to remember that it was a Bomb Squadron (Actually Wing) patch from the 1950s and I thought they flew B-36s, but I couldn't remember the number. It also makes sense that the the Wing has ties to the 9th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing. I got it when I was working at Beale AFB about thirty years ago, and the 9th SRW was stationed there (U-2s and SR-71s). Plus it has the same color scheme as the patch for the 9th SRW as well. Thanks again for this. Rich M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easystreet Posted January 19, 2019 Author Share #6 Posted January 19, 2019 Guys, Thanks a ton for identifying these so quickly for me. Especially the 5th Bomb Wing patch. Like I said, all of my good reference books are packed and in storage as I moved across the country last year. It has been driving me nuts that I couldn't identify these. I knew that there were enough patch experts on here that someone could help Thanks again to all that helped. Rich Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
