Need help with this insignia

[Anonymous]

There was a topic about a year or so ago that showed this insignia. I made one up, and labeled it as the 9th bomb squadron, however the 9th was a roundel with two beams. Could some clarify, and link if possible. Thanks Mark

Hi,

I have made this one a year ago or so...

I think it is an old version of the 31st BS patch:

That's the emblem, they were flying the "Keystone" twin engine Biplane bombers , I've seen photos of the bombers with the same emblem painted on the noses .

Here are some more 31st BS photos. Along with the variety of Keystones, the units was one of the few that flew the Douglas B-7s.

Here are a few patches that I have seen for sale. Not sure on the authenticity of the first. Could have easily been a fake.

Here is one when the unit was stationed in Hawaii during the attack on Pearl Harbor.
