Superb reproduction of the chest badge of 430th Fighter Squadron, 474th Fighter Group, 9th Air Force, hand-painted on a piece of leather. 

Activated on August 1, 1943, it became one of the three fighter squadrons of the 474th Fighter Group, equipped with P-38 Lightnings (fuselage code K6 in a circle).

After several months of intensive training in the Mojave desert, the squadron reached England in February-March 1944, where it was assigned to the 9th Air Force. 

This large insignia (13 cm in diameter) was worn by P-38 pilots on their A-2 jackets.
