I like those tigers, the 23rd FG is a painted one cut out and stitched to the shield I think, there's an example of that type in one of the Maguire books. And the CATF is embroidered on brown felt, hardly looks stitched to the jacket.

2nd Mapping Sq.:
A/c is a Lockheed Hudson, officially A-28 or -29 in the AAF and only used stateside.
This outfit changed to B-24s and -25s when sent to the SW Pacific.
Guy at far L looks marginally too fat to fly. Maybe why he wasn't overseas.
Guy at far R is no scrawny kid either.
