Patch ID help

Hi,
There's a WWII patch
with a latin phrase on it.
Something like "Veni Vidi Vici but not that exactly.

Thought I saved it on my HD but now can't find it. Very cool patch though.

Any ideas?

PS: I remember I looked up the phrase for a translation and found it on Wikipedia. Unfortunately, can't remember the phrase or its translation and now that I check wiki has 1000s of latin phrases.

Can you describe more detail of the patch ?????
I have seen a Leather jacket with a design on back with this title ..........

Jeez Platon, throw us a bone here. what about the graphics of the patch? Skull with a pilot cap?

Skull with a pilot cap

that's what I vaguely remember but I could be wrong.

I guess I will have to look for it again in my laptop as that's where I think it is since I couldn't find it in my desktop

OK, then it may be what I thought right off the bat. The profile of a skull wearing a leather pilots cap, thumb at the tip of nose with all other fingers extended, another way of saying FU. And another patch that is frequently on the other side, it's a skull with big yellow droop wings. Pretty sure it's in one of my flight jacket books and I've reproduced it many times but just can't remember. Heading to the shop now so I'll start flipping pages.

That's the one I was thinking but got a completely different patch when I GOOGLED it.

Platon is no longer a member here Johnny, there's a member or two here that will jump at the chance to elaborate if they see this.

Said it before that I look at all and just informing Johnny that Platon isn't here anymore, that's all. And I was originally a contributor to this thread.

The rest is evidently up to Van by the looks of it. Referring to Van in the third person as it's so common for Van to do so Vans self. :lol:

He was a funny dude, a little out of whack for sure, but I miss his input. Maybe he'll rise again some day, I'd vote him back in the club.
