emblemhunter Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 Hello , I'm seeking a good clear photo/image of the "Unofficial" emblem design used by the 74th Fighter Squadron during WW2(They were part of the 23rd FG , it is a round background with a cartoonish goofy looking pilot wearing leather flying helmet w/goggles and he's holding a 50 caliber machine gun along side his body and it's trailing a short ammo belt , the pilot is riding a goofy looking horse that is in full gallop . I have seen two blurry images of this design, one black and white of a sign type either wood/metal on the running board of an Army truck, the other a color photo of an actual Leather patch . If anyone knows of a good image and hopefully the colors to this emblem please contact me, I am willing to make them a Free leather patch of this emblem for their help if it is usable, thanks and I await your replies !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Johnny
AirForceBrat Posted November 5, 2022 Posted November 5, 2022 If you are talking about the 74th fighter squadron, USAAF. They were established in the Far East (Flying Tigers), flying P-40 Warhawks, and later P-51 Mustangs. If you go to ashra.af.mil you can get an accurate patch. By the way, they are still an active operational unit. They are currently flying A-10C Warthogs and F-16C Fighting Falcons. They are also based at Moody Air Force Base, Georgia. I hope that helps
