All Novices STOP and read this information as written by the U. S. Navy
"The U.S. Navy does not issue or provide the funds for squadron or other aviation unit insignia patches.
A naval aviation squadron or aviation command is not required to have an insignia. If a unit chooses to have an official insignia, the unit must have the insignia approved by the Office of Chief of Naval Operations, Director, Air Warfare (N88H). After approval, the individual unit has the responsibility of ordering the patches from a private company or organization that makes this type of item. Below is a list of companies involved in making patches. Individual aviation commands sell their patches to cover the cost of producing them. Patches of active duty aviation squadrons or units can only be obtained by writing directly to each squadron. Addresses for active duty commands may be obtained by writing to the Chief of Naval Operations, Code N09B22, 2000 Navy Pentagon, Washington, DC 20350-2000.
Insignia approval records, for naval aviation units only, are maintained by the History Center's Aviation History Office. The insignia records usually include a drawing or photograph of the insignia. However, the office does not have custody of the actual patches. Patches for units that have been disestablished can be obtained from private collections, from military goods dealers, and by ordering a patch prepared by a private company or organization, as listed below. The American Society of Military Insignia Collectors may be able to assist personnel in obtaining patches on units no longer active. Their address is 1331 Bradley Avenue, Hummelstown, Pennsylvania 17036.
Many World War II squadrons and Naval Air Reserve Squadrons prior to 1970 did not get their insignia officially approved even though the squadrons may have used an insignia. The Aviation History Office does not have any records for commands that did not obtain official approval of their insignia. The office only maintains insignia for naval aviation commands. It does not approve or maintain insignia records for any other Navy commands, including ships that are aviation related, such as aircraft carriers, amphibious assault ships, seaplane tenders, etc..."
The above verbage was copied from this Official Navy web page http://www.history.navy dot mil/faqs/faq5-1.htm
I receive many inquiries about "is this an Issue Navy patch", the above should clear-up that misconception!

UI#90 - Japan made in the 1950s - 1960s, unlucky at what?
 ( also on: UI, USAF, USMC pages )
UI#295 -11 TIGERS patch made in Japan, pair of dice 6 and 5, any ideas?
Probably Navy, I understand this saying "SURE!! YOU'VE GOT THE NEXT GOOD DEAL" was used by the "Assignment Officer"( detailer in Navy Speak )
Could be for: the Grumman F-11F Tiger(not plural though), Squadrons who flew the F-11Fs, VF-11, VT-11, an aircrew patch for a VP unit, or etc.???
 UI#313 - RVN Survival Equipment patch (machine embroidered patches have also been seen), possibly an Aviation Rigger's shop?
  I#315 - E-2 Hawkeye patch, 'FIRST IN EARLY WARNING', Japan made, possibly VAW-115?
  UI#321 - Duck in Red Jockey Clothing with whip riding a Cloud on white Felt, maybe a weather squadron?
240dpi
  UI#326 - "67 NITE EYES", Anyone know the unit(individual) who designed this insignia? I was told the green symbol is for RADAR.
listed on USAF SQDNs page
  UI#346 - ID'd as the WWII 401st FS - see on the USAAF page
  UI#366 - a "Known" patch for many years but NO ID has been established, anyone know had to arrange the Numbers "437" or "7th SQ, class 43" or ?
( from a Pilot of the 13th BS(T) and 81st FBS, he attended the 3506th PTS(probably 1950s), see the rest of his Grouping in the 13th BS(T) section )

  ( also on: AVN, NAVY, SQ, WG, SOS, USMC, GRD pages )
UI#368 - Major Nebo's Crew 8, Howling Commandos, large patch probably made in WESTPAC(country unknown) with PELLON backing(introduced into the States in 1950), the "Howling Commandos" is a term from old Comics/etc., (resembles a PI made patch but no one I have talked to will go for that??)
  ( Also on: 1st SOS, SQs, Wings, Main Navy pages )
UI#377 - Horse's Head patch made in Japan/Okinawa, possibly the 319th TCS(Commando)?, anyone know an ID for the chess Knight?

UI#378 - Little Red Devil with Trident standing in Flames, Tab reads 'HOT TO GO', made in Japan, may have been trimmed short on the bottom or it may have had a tab removed.....I think I have seen a disc with this Devil that was a Navy Novelty patch(?). ID's as a Marine Rotary Squadron.
 ( also on the Navy patch page )
UI#382 - "Tactical Command", similar to the old USAF TAC design but missing "AIR", possibly made in Japan, large patch, anyone know the timeframe or unit?
