486th Bomb Group squadron insignias.

[Chris217]

Heres some good original examples of 486th Bomb Group, 8th AF, squadron insignias from the 832nd, 833rd, and 835th Bomb Squadrons. I have yet been able to find an original example of an 834th BS insignia. In fact its believed that by the time the 834th settled on a patch design, the war had ended and the patches were never made. All the 834th patches I've ever seen were reunion patches. These patches were made sometime in late 1944.

833rd Bomb Squadron
