88th Fighter Squadron Patch ID'd as C Flight

[a2jacketpatches]

Did this patch for Vic but I don't think we ever got a 100% positive ID on it. I ran across these pics yesterday. Here's another copy of the patch I have listed and will revise as C Flight Burma Banshees 88th Fighter Squadron.

That was their patch/emblem for the 'single" engine period of the unit , they later got P-38's and changed the design , I think the devil then had "two" tails on the emblem.

Makes sense on the forked tail devil, the p-38's nickname as well. Any idea what he's holding? my patch looks like a ball of energy or something to that effect, but on the sign and plane looks like a couple of arrows.

Nice patch. There was a A-2 jacket grouping with that same patch that sold on eBay not long ago.

He's holding two 50 cal machine guns and they're firing and the flames are at ends of barrels and the "rounds" converge into point

There's kind of a burst like effect around the rounds .

here is an image from my files - don't know if this is wwii or later.

I think that is a ww2 era patch, the design is at least , but it could be one of those really good "aged" repros ....................

The details are a little vague in the machine guns and the barrels/flames at tips of barrels
