ocsfollowme Posted August 10, 2020 #426 Posted August 10, 2020 Here is a neat Kelly Field patch. I have seen about 3-4 of these in the past decade on eBay. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelly_Field
rustywings Posted August 11, 2020 Author #427 Posted August 11, 2020 Wow! What a nice Kelly Field patch! I especially like the way they incorporated the USAAF colors into the PT design! Thanks for posting... And thank you Tod for posting the additional info on the Twenty-nine Palms Flight School. It's all worthy info...
ocsfollowme Posted August 30, 2020 #428 Posted August 30, 2020 So I have had these for some time. Does anyone know what school they go to? 1.5" in diameter. Reminds me of the Chicago School of Aircraft Instruments Women's Aircraft Instrument Tech small round patches but they are of a different color.

Take a look: https://www.yumpu.com/xx/document/read/56460726/6010-f-clampout-condor-field Back to the Twenty Nine Palms...Yes, it was TAA. Here is a shirt that was on Ron Burkey's site that has since been sold.

rathbonemuseum.com Posted January 5, 2021 #431 Posted January 5, 2021 A recent this nice leather patch with colors still bright. Interesting that text is written in wood burning tool!
ocsfollowme Posted March 9, 2021 #434 Posted March 9, 2021 a neat variation of the Embry Riddle School of Aviation to include inter-american cadet. I have one without the "Inter-American Cadet"
5thwingmarty Posted April 30, 2021 #435 Posted April 30, 2021 I posted this on Chris' WWO post but thought they should go hear as well. A nice legit 20's to 30's Meyer Metal pilot instructor type wing.

I have one without the "Inter-American Cadet" I wonder if this relates specifically to Cadets from Latin America? The use of the phrase "Inter-american" is oddly specific and not often found.
ocsfollowme Posted October 9, 2021 #437 Posted October 9, 2021 This one has me completely stumped. Has anyone seen this before and can you even find anything on the internet about it? I have come up empty after an hour searching. Aviation Training Incorporation

Aviation Training Incorporation Steve, there’s a number of similarities between your mystery patch and several known WWII era “Hancock College of Aeronautics” patch variations. The globe depicting the Western Hemisphere; the Eagle; and especially the three small stars, can be found on other Hancock patches and documents. Nothing confirmed...just possible clues?
ocsfollowme Posted December 1, 2021 #440 Posted December 1, 2021 Picked this one up. PCM from Curtiss Wright Aeronautical University in Chicago, Illinois. What does PCM stand for? I have found about 6-7 aviation things it could be. Thanks in advance.
B-17Guy Posted February 26, 2022 #441 Posted February 26, 2022 I was at Williams for about 20 minutes last week and took this photo of one of the WWII hangars still in use. Always liked the RAF wing badge stylized hangars. There some in Macon GA too. Jonn

Its from the 65th College Training Detachment (CTD) at Syracuse University. The Seneca Flying School around Syracuse was in charge of giving the men basic flight training. My dad spent a number of months as part of the 65th CTD until they booted him and 90% of the other cadets out because they needed more air crew members. Has anyone ever seen a patch from the 65th CTD? The attached SFS wings image shows the stamping die used by The Robbins Company to manufacture Seneca Flying School wings. The die was made September 24, 1941.
Cobra 6 Actual Posted September 25, 2022 #444 Posted September 25, 2022 I think I saw this one way back in Post #40:
Cobra 6 Actual Posted September 25, 2022 #445 Posted September 25, 2022 May have missed these two from earlier:
5thwingmarty Posted February 26, 2023 #446 Posted February 26, 2023 A while back I picked up a little pin (about 1" in span) that had the letters CSAI across its base. I suspected that the pin was from the Chicago School of Aircraft Instruments but could not prove it until now. At the SOS a little grouping walked up to our table and presented itself to me (this is almost literally what happened) which now gives me the proof I needed, and now my little pin has joined the grouping. Hopefully I can add a patch or two and another booklet to the set for the Women Aircraft Instrument Technicians (WAIT) program from this school.
rathbonemuseum.com Posted February 27, 2023 #447 Posted February 27, 2023 Love it when that happens. Very cool Marty. Good seeing you.
Sequatchiee Posted February 27, 2023 #448 Posted February 27, 2023 A better close-up of the insigna possible ? Thank you .
5thwingmarty Posted February 28, 2023 #449 Posted February 28, 2023 This is a photo from when I bought the wing. I will take a better photo or two when I get a chance.
ocsfollowme Posted April 27, 2023 #450 Posted April 27, 2023 Here are some new ones that just came in. I have NEVER seen another AAF * FTD Ocala Florida patch before. Here are three tabs, all hard to find, with the flight instructor being the most common. I am still wondering where these were used at.
