Close studies of an embroidered U.S. Navy squadron patch from the Lt. Bancroft collection show a cartoon hornet riding an aerial bomb toward a Pacific island, rifle and telescope in hand. Rendered in the Disney-influenced insignia tradition of the WWII and Korean War years, such emblems carried unit identity and morale onto every flight jacket.
