Hi Mark
Happy Halloween,
It took a bit of digging but emblem on the P-39 in the foreground is the WWII emblem of the 42nd Fighter Squadron, 54th Fighter Group. When the squadron was reactivated during the Cold War as an Air Defense Command unit in 1953 they adopted a new emblem.
Here is the WWII emblem from eBay:
Best regards
Tom
