FOREWORD
I
nsignias are the modern form of heraldry of the knights of old. In
the armed services insignias serve as a form of shorthand that iden-
tifies an individual's service, rank, authority, specialty and organi-
zation. The organizational insignia, from the plain to very involved de-
sign, expresses a pride in oneself and his or her organization. From this
pride springs self-discipline, the essence of respect for self, for service
and for country.
The first semi-official Navy organizational insignias began to ap-
pear in the fledging Naval Aeronautical Organization in the early twen-
ties with the establishment of the Bureau of Aeronautics in 1921 and a
year later the formation of fighting, scouting, observation, seaplane pa-
trol and torpedo plane squadrons. By 1927, the now familiar High Hat,
Felix the Cat and VF-2's Flying Chiefs squadron insignias began ap-
pearing on the sides of the Navy's nimble, brightly colored biplane fight-
ers. By the beginning of World War II all Navy aviation squadrons, most
Naval and Reserve air stations, and even aircraft carriers had distinctive
. . .
InSIgmas.
During the Second World War aviation squadrons, surface ships and
submarines, and shore establishment organizational insignias abound,
establishing a high esprit de corps within each individual in that unit.
Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny and a host of other charac-
ters truly went to war with all branches of the armed services on the
sides of tanks, planes and ships bridges. In fact in 1943, the Navy told
its squadrons to knock off using Donald Duck so often for proposed
. . .
InSIgmas.
I remember all the displays of insignias in Life Magazine ads and
collecting bottle caps and stickers from boxes of cereal during the war
that had aviation insignias on them. We all knew what the insignias of
the Flying Tigers, Eagle squadron, 94th Fighter and VF-31 squadrons
looked like, what kind of planes they flew and how they performed in
combat. When I grew up I was able turn my childhood dream into real-
ity when I became a Naval Aviator. Acquiring that first patch in Training
Squadron One and having it sewn on my flight jacket meant I had ar-
rived and was truly a part of that unit. As my career progressed, so did
the number of patches on my flight jacket until I ran out of room. Each
patch on my jacket, as well as those that adorn the jackets of my fellow
NavalAviators, aircrew, and squadron/ship mates have a special memory
and, in many cases, a long history behind them.
My interest in insignias is historical and I was fortunate to be able to
continue to gather information on Navy and Marine Corps aviation or-

ganizations while I was in the Navy. Frequent trips to Washington, D.C.,
allowed me to spend considerable time at the Naval Air and Operational
Histories offices where I collected as much information as I could on
Navy/Marine squadrons. I have been lucky to be able to be in a position
to share much of this information as insignia editor for THE HOOK
magazine, the Tailhook Association's quarterly journal of carrier avia-
tion. In this capacity I have produced the magazine's patch page, a fea-
ture for 16 years, and answered all insignia inquiries. I quickly learned
that it is next to impossible to identify every insignia because there are
so many, and many are unidentifiable, even with the help of the histori-
ans at the Naval Air History office where all Navy aviation insignias are
supposed to be officially approved.
This book serves as a valuable guide for the insignia collector and
lovers of Navy patches in providing color pictures of past and present
active and Reserve Navy aviation squadrons, ships, aircraft and shore
organizations. It will help the serious collectors and those getting started
to identify patches in their collections. Mike's collection of Navy insig-
nias is vast and I thank him for sharing his collection with all of us.
