UI/Mystery Items

If you have information on any of these, email  Jack@LJMilitaria.com  


UI#280 - Supposed to be a USAF Flight crewman's novelty patch for NVN Missions, made in Thailand.  I assume the burning Flag is NVN's, the wavy silver line is the Mekong River, and the Mountains are the ones you have to fly over to reach Hanoi from Thailand.  Anyone know the usage?   


UI#346 - ID'd as the WWII USAAF 401st FS - see on USAAF page
 

UI#345 - USAF Law Enforcement "B Flight" "The Killer Bees", PELON backing=probably made in Korea, unit probably stationed in WESTPAC?

 

UI#366 - a "Known" patch for many years but NO ID has been established, anyone know had to arrange the Numbers "437" or "7th SQ, class 43" or ?
                 ( from a Pilot of the 13th BS(T) and 81st FBS, he attended the 3506th PTS(probably 1950s), see the rest of his Grouping in the 13th BS(T) section )  
 

UI#367 - Hand-embroidered Mirror imaged Horse with RVN National Colors, SEA made
 
( also on: AVN, NAVY, SQ, WG, SOS, USMC, GRD pages )

UI#368 - Major Nebo's Crew 8, Howling Commandos, large patch probably made in WESTPAC(country unknown) with PELLON backing(introduced into the States in 1950), the "Howling Commandos" is a term from old Comics/etc., (resembles a PI made patch but no one I have talked to will go for that??)
 
( Also on: 1st SOS, SQs, Wings, Main Navy pages )
