This insignia was designed and worn by a group of fighter pilots who arrived on Espiritu Santo in April 1944 aboard the CVE Savo Island. While they sat and sat awaiting assignment to a permanent squadron, the pilots in the pilot pool were used to check out recently repaired battle damaged aircraft. A lot of the airframes could never be made to fly correctly again and were dangerous in the air, causing more than a few bailouts.
