Check this site out:

http://bluejacket.com/index_patch_picture.html

They have a few patches on your want list, though some of their images are a bit suspect as far as being shots of original patches. Many are postwar designs, but some of those are hard to find color images of as well.

All in all they did a nice job covering a lot of ground.

There were a couple on there that were on your list.

They are probably the "variations " of what I have , I looked them over and did not see the ones I have shown on the site .................
Some patches had 2-3 variations at times and this is what makes it difficut to track them down .

There is a out of print book available, called "Official and Unofficial, US NAVY AIR PATCHES 1920s to Today" By Derek Nelson and Dave Parsons on Amazon.com, for about 10 bucks... it might help you a little.

Hey Jim , thanks for the note , but I picked up that book some years ago .
The ones on my list are mostly the "Unofficial" types put out by either "Disney" or other ones that are just unusual and that makes them tough to find, some may have never been made into patches and just the drawings ,and the units went on to other designs.

I know Disney submitted a lot of deisgns to units for "approval" and many for whatever reason didn't get picked/used, others were I think just very short lived or not well documented, I know there's a couple of people out there on forums that have many of the Disney ones I need , it's just a matter of getting them to "share" .......................................................

Anyway, it's a fun and on going hobby that I enjoy to do !
