This history has several great photographs, particularly of nose art, as well as some group shots. There is also a roster and photos of decoration recipients. We have a WWII 514th squadron patch with the Uncle-Sam hat-wearing bomb in the boxing ring for sale separately (please see link at the bottom of the page for more information).
