Thanks - yeah, I saw that too. The squadron history is pretty confusing. As VF-41 they were in North Africa supporting Operation Torch, then they switched to the Pacific and became VF-4. Became VF-11 after the war. I think it's the current Red Rippers - a more recent VF-11 - who began in 1959. They have the boar's head but not the shield.
I've seen photos of the squadron insignia on aircraft in WW2 but not on a patch...
