Does anyone have an image of or where I could get one of the original 612th patch?

The patches for all the squadrons are in the blue book group annual.  See the posting below this on patches for a source.

I tried those but they only have the new patch not the old one with the bear.

Robert:

Go to this website:  http://www.nmia.com/~valorc/american/patchs/leather.html

Scroll down until you find the 401st -- it has both patches -- the new one and the old one with the bear.

Hope this helps

I must have missed something.  They have a 401st Group patch with the triangle S and a 401st SQUADRON patch with a hairy man and an indian........  Where is the 401st group patch with the bear?

I saw only the 401st and 615th patches, no 612th.

It is pictured in the blue book annual, and check Don Byers reply to "patches" memo on the forum.  That company has all the squadron patches.
