WWII Squadron Patch with accompanying letter that reads: DONALD H. DENNINGER 29 CENTRAL WOODS LN. BROOKHAVEN, N.Y. 11719 To Whom It May Concern. The 59 Hand Painted Patches that acompany this letter were obtained by me from John Holt, who obtained them from Frank Fitzgerald. They are Hand Painted at the Walt Disney Studios in California before and during World War Two and were used as the models for the leather patches that the United States Army Air Force wore on their leather flight jackets during world war two. These patches were originally obtained by a construction crew who were hired by the Walt Disney Studios to do some remodeling work after Walt Disney died. These patches were to be destroyed but instead were kept by the construction foreman and later sold to Mr. Frank Fitzgerald who in turn sold them to Mr. Ron Fischer of Washington D.C., and Mr. John Holt of Long Island, N.Y... In December of 1996 I purchased the patches that Mr. Holt had but was unable to contact Mr. Fischer to see if he wanted to sell his patches to me.I had the patches researched at a local University Art Dept. And was told that the patches were the work of the Walt Disney Studios, and that they were painted during the World War Two era, 1939-1941. This patch has been removed from an album but in excellent condition.
