How We Really Won World War II: Coolest Insignias

When I saw these amazing and fascinating designs, my jaw dropped.

 

From the website  2719 Hyperion, comes the story of how the Disney studio designed insignias for U.S. military units during World War II.  Check out the Jackson Air Base's cool insignia:

And this one was for the 2nd Reconnaissance Squadron:

 

002 2nd Reconn

 

A smiling mommy kangaroo raining down destruction for The 46th Bombardment Group:

Why was a dodo bird chosen for the 47th Schl. Squadron at Randolph Field, Texas?  Who cares; it's awesome!

 

004 47th School

 

There are many more on display on the website.  I love 'em all.  And here's a picture of one of the insignias in actions, on the PT-9 Mosquito Boat.
