I need patches!

[D_Conrad]

I am in need of two patches, an 8th airforce patch and a 390th bomb group patch. I was able to get chunks from the runway at framlingham field where a B-17 pilot I interviewed flew his 25 missions out of. He has never returned to the airfield. I am making a plaque displaying the runway pieces, several of his photos and I would like the 2 patches for the top. Please let me know what you have! Repo is OK.

Daniel,

Do you know the squadron he was in? Some very good repros of the squadron patches available these days.

FWIW: The 390th BG had a neat 35 Mission completion certificate...

This one was for Howard H. Bibby, a gunner in the 570th BS. Not sure why the dates weren't filled in... But he made his 35 regardless. If you haven't been there, the 390th museum within the Pima Air & Space Museum has awesome crew photos along the upper tier walls. I researched Bibby there.

Yes! He was in the 569th thank you for the info! I'll definitely look into that too. I think it would be cool to have all 3. I have been to the museum multiple times, the B17 has been my favorite airplane since I can remember. The pilot I'm making this for actually still volunteers there. His name is Richard Bushong, I'm hoping to keep this a surprise for him.
