<p>[QUOTE="harley bissell, post: 4129382, member: 88212"]That insignia is period correct for the Army Air Corps - 5th Air Force. Maybe it was made in Australia. Don't know if that is where the 5th deployed. The Army Air Corps became the US AIR FORCE in 1947 and the AIR FORCE does not wear shoulder sleeve insignia on their dress uniforms. They mainly wear pocket patches on their BDUs and flight jackets. You can see the full color patch on ebay or Wikipedia.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
