Hello everybody,
I'm a new member from Florennes Belgium.
I'm looking for the insignia of the 370 FG 485 FS based in Florennes Air Base in the WWII.
I have a Willys Jeep and I wond to paint my Jeep with the numbers and the insignia of the 485 Fighter Squadrons.
Can you help me ?
Thank you.
Jean-Marc

That's the only one I've found, tho someone else may have a better one. Here's the description of the patch- may help with the colors:
EMBLEM. On a disc light turquoise blue, wide border red, a small, caricatured
lightning bug wearing red-and-white-striped jersey, light turquoise blue trousers and aviator's helmet, red boots and goggles, and yellow gloves, standing on two jagged, yellow lightning bolts striking toward sinister base, pilewise, and holding a large gray aerial bomb under the right arm, and a gray automatic revolver in the left hand, while facing toward sinister, all in front of a large white cloud formation. (Approved
20 Mar 1945.)

Jean-Marc, Not a good image, but at least the colors are vibrant enough and supplement the image Gary provided. Tkae what you like and leave the rest.... Andy [image]local://upfiles/10103/F8B063A258884C00A52445F832B7EF7E.jpg[/image]
