Bolling Field, Washington DC adopted the owl insignia in 1918 until 1922 when it was superseded by the Capitol Dome insignia.

Here is a beautiful layered rendition of the Capitol patch in wool felt, dating to the days of USAAC Headquarters Detachment - about 1930.

At some point the "dashes" along the border turned gold. This woven patch dates to 1948 and the newly established USAF HQ Command.
