Ron, there was a 119th guy, 2nd Flight, in California, a few years ago made up a bunch of new 2nd Flight embroidered pocket patches. I think it was Don Prentiss, and I think I heard that he recently died, unfortunately.

From the eBay picture, these are not those patches. I bought a couple of Don's patches from him several years ago, and they are the actual emblem shape. These appear to be embroidered into a piece of cloth and cut out, maybe the guy scanned in a patch from those goofy colored Winnebago flight suits guys used to have made. I agree, his source is suspect based on the number he has peddled in the recent past.

Jim Bodkin at the 145th CAB Assn, by the way, has some reproductions of the shield-shaped 119th emblem for sale. They're nice.
