Well, a real one just sold 1-2 months ago on eBay. I couldn’t find the ID.

Well that's the one, thought the one in the photo's colors seem different, light colored prop, Pine Trees? Odd item was up for sale without a unit ID right.

So many of these type squadron patches do not have IDs and most tend to be some sort of obscure base unit.

The patch is probably attributed to the Alaska Air Depot, 1945-46.

Possibly, I never looked for a museum when I was on elmendorf a handful of times. They had a better firearms selection than wainwright.

Thanks to all.

 

Well here's the whole portrait, gives unit as 9th Air Force 365th Fighter Group., but clearly now this is a pre overseas portrait if 9th AF is correct, as the patch we know now is not for the 365th Fighter Group. . Got no hits for where the 41st Air Base Squadron was stationed though.
