Spike63 Posted December 19, 2022 Share #1 Posted December 19, 2022 Hi, I'm trying to identify a patch from an M422A jacket, It appears to be a winged goat with crossed torpedo and baseball bat? Named to Lieut C.W. Smith USNR. Any help very gratefully received.. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffro Posted December 20, 2022 Share #2 Posted December 20, 2022 It’s USN Composite Squadron 71 (VC-71) circa 1944-46. That’s a machine gun not a baseball bat. The unit served aboard CVE-61 USS Manila Bay. Nice jacket! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike63 Posted December 20, 2022 Author Share #3 Posted December 20, 2022 Brilliant, thanks. The weird thing is I found that info a couple of years ago then lost it and couldn't find it again. I had info on the pilot that he was KIA but darned if I can find that either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
