Unknown (to me) Unit Patch

Anyone know what unit this patch is for?

I believe it is a Navy unit.

Maybe US Navy VPB29 it is identified as that a few places, but didn't dig around to much to [emoji817] percent confirm that.

It's a WW2 VT-29 (torpedo) squadron. Nice patch !

I concur its VT-29.  Torpedo bomber squadron assigned to the USS Cabot (CVL-28) from November 1944 until the end of WWII.  One of my close friend's grandfather was a pilot flying in a TBM Avenger, paired up with an F6F Hellcat when he was KIA on January 12, 1945 attacking a Japanese oil tanker.

 

If you ever want to get rid of that patch, let me know.  I'd love to get it for him.
