Bill Scott Posted July 24, 2019 Share #3 Posted July 24, 2019 I may be wrong but I do not think so, I think those are reproductions put out in the 1980s.The color on them is way off and the construction is not like normally seen. I hope Walika- Rick sees them and Chimes in.Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walika Posted July 24, 2019 Share #4 Posted July 24, 2019 The second design represents the 400th Bomb Squadron. These two patches appear to be post-war reproductions. The 400th BS insignia was early-war. See more, here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R. Watkins Posted July 26, 2019 Share #8 Posted July 26, 2019 For those not familiar with the 414thBombSqdn insignia, the story behind this design is a facinating piece of WWII history. Attached is an after-action photo taken 1 Feb 1943 at Briskra airfield, Tunis of the 'All American'. This ship actually made it back to its base following a 'close encouter' with a German fighter.
