Subject: 343SRS insignia

Robb....the insignia which is attached is the same one shown on my jacket (page 106 in B. Bailey's book)....I would be happy to send you the original, however, I would like a guarantee that it would be returned because it is a part of my service momentos and my command of the 343rd Squadron. The reproduction of the patch is probably good enough for most uses since it shows the material construction in detail. When you bring it up on your computer it will probably be quite large.....the actual diameter is 3 and 11/16". Please advise....Tony Rais P. S. Don....how about adding the patch to the 'Gallery' on the internet,,,,by the way this is the original patch with no numbers or letters on it...TR
