Burt,
the very short answer is:
"This is the patch of the 2nd Army Air Forces Flight Training Detachment - 2nd A.A.F.F.T.D. , which I royally screwed up by forgetting one of th "F"'s...".
The AAFFTDs were often flight schools on pre-war civilian air fields, taken over by the Air Corps, enhanced with major updates like concrete runways. As far as I understand it, existing flight schools and instructors were often used by the AAF to train the military personnel.
The CAL-AERO Academy ran the Ontario Airfield in Ontario, California.
A friend from the US ordered a civilian flight instructor jacket from our member Shawn and asked me to make him this "fantasy" patch of letters and cartoon.
As I mentioned, I screwed it up by missing one letter... Fortunately, I was able to mix the correct blue within 2 minutes (this often takes me hours and I still end up with totally off colours), so the new letters were done in minimum time..
