irish Posted September 20, 2020 Share #2 Posted September 20, 2020 Bottom patch has never been identified to my knowledge. Top patch central design is a bomb squadron or group Pacific Theater, the number escapes me at the moment. The additional border designations are Un-related and were to show design capabilities of this tailor. This banner appeared on the cover of Trading Post and there may be more info in that article.

Randy Posted September 20, 2020 Share #3 Posted September 20, 2020 Top design is from the 89th Bomb Sq. It was assigned to the 38th Bomb Group at Itazuke and Itami, Japan, between 46-49. Your patch is possibly for the 38 AES troops dedicated to servicing the the 89th BMS A-26 Invader aircraft. Or, as Irish stated, maybe just put together. There would have to be some relation with the 58th ASG. Here's the 89th I had at one time, made at the same place from the looks of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish Posted September 20, 2020 Share #4 Posted September 20, 2020 Thanks Randy, just got the 89th BS. I was never able to put these service units together With the unit but it sounds like you may have a possibility there. Is there an Id on the bottom patch.
