Help Identifying Patch

[billyk]

All,

I've been trying to identify this patch/art but haven't had any luck. Does this ring a bell for anyone?

Thanks,

W

Looks like a U2 but the color is off, not sure they were anything but black.

A-20 Havoc squadron? Looks more like a crew or personal art.

I agree with that. Looks somewhat like an A-20. Maybe done by a crew member with not much painting skill?

Thanks guys. The jacket belonged to navigator on a B-17. I've been told that the artwork was done by a local in Italy, which may explain why it looks nothing like a B-17. Maybe it is simply crew or personal art as suggested.

Now that I'm looking through the bottom of the last bottle of an empty six pack, six feet away, with a squinted eye, it does look like an A-20.......Sort of? Hiccup! :lol:

I thought it was a jet !

The cartoon guy seem to be thinking - "That's not my plane..."

Not a lot of B-17s in the MTO. Maybe this navigator had flown in A-20s and his squadron transitioned to B-17s later.
