Two World War II Aviation Patches

1) 436th Fighter Squadron patch, 5 3/4" diameter, embroidery on blue felt featuring a devil with cat-like features holding a lightning bolt. Text on the back (both directly on the patch and on attached notes) attribute the patch to a Staff Sergeant Ray Nijkamp of the Communications Section of the 436th Fighter Squadron of the 479th Fighter Group, and attribute the patch as English made. 2) 652nd Bombardment Squadron patch, 5" diameter, painted leather construction, featuring a duck wearing a coat and hat and carrying a thermometer and umbrella, with a sun and a stormcloud overhead. The 652nd spent 1944-1945 in England acting as a weather reconnaissance unit before rotating back stateside. Provenance: The Putnam Green/Sycamore Collection

ConditionVery good, with mild wear and handling marks. Color and detail in the decoration remain strong on both patches.
