My father was a bombardier on “The Belching Buzzard” in 1943n 0r there about. I would like to get a patch, or a copy on the plane’s insignia, if one exists. Does anybody know??

Bob, just saw your comment, were you able to locate one ? My Dad was the Tailgunner on the BB from 41-43.
He flew 51 missions. Feel free to shoot me an email. Sully
