These two Leather jacket patches went to a WW2 veteran of the unit , 388th Bombardment Group & 560th Bombardment Squadron "Gremlin Gus" , I especially enjoy making these patches when they go to a veteran , most of my work has done so , but also reenactors and collectors have ordered my patches , enjoy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just added 17 new Leather unit patch photos to my Facebook page , below are a couple of them , along with a shot of some of the patches I made after they were matted/framed by the customer so you can see how well they also display on a war room wall if you don't want them on a jacket , enjoy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Click the "Thumbnails for a much better close up of them, the patches are 43rd Bombardment Group "Ken's Men"(left) and 376th Bombardment Group "Liberandos" on right , the framed patches are both of the 730th Bombardment squadron , one is the WW2 era design (upper left) the other (lower right) is the Korean era one, there's also an 8th AAF and leather name strip .

Hello WW2 reenactors that are into the aviation side of the hobby , I am an artist of Leather Squadron/Group patches of USAAF/USN/USMC flying types, I can make you a patch in the 5-6 range for your A-2 or G-1 jacket that will make the "look" you're seeking .

30 years experience , great work,please take a look at my link below for 196 various images of patches that went to veterans/collectors/reenactors and even a few museums .
