Hi, I'm trying to I.D. this badge (presumed Squadron) from an F-84B Thunderjet, at Dow Field (or AFB), Maine, circa 1948-1949. This emblem appears on the port side of the aircraft, while the 49th Training Wing badge is on the other side. On-line and book searches has so far yielded ziltch. Appears to be maybe a bee riding a rocket... may be involved with early A.D.C. units... Thanks, Ed |

Dow had 2 fighter squadrons, the 37th and 49th. Neither had this as their Squadron Insignia. It is possible it was an unauthorized patch, as these unites were among the first to get P (Later F) -84Bs. Both of these units have long and storied histories beginning in WWII , so searches of their unit histories should turn up something with some effort. |
