My friend, "Wayne" flew 141 missions over Corsica and Italy with the 350th Ftr Grp/347th Ftr Sqn. The "Screaming Red Ass Squadron"
He's a great guy and was a good flyer. He's promised to give me that Type-C helmet when he finds it (he's in a move right now). I also hope to see that A-2 one day. He claims to still have that!
There are several variants of the 347th patch out there - some without lightning bolts, some with half lightning bolts, and some with different clouds.
Here's a patch I just made using enamels. It really needs to be aged.
I might make him one now that I've practiced.
