Hopefully someone (besides Jack) will have something else to add to emblem of VF-38.
Attached are a few photos.
One from Jack showing a wartime photo of OC Hellcat with the emblem.
One of my photos of the emblem on the Hellcat 25910 - lots of missing paint though quite a lot visible. Also thought to be White 2 with VF-38.
A drawing (no not by my 10 year old son - would probably be better) - tracing and colours. I prefer straight line architectural drawing! Gives an indication though!
So a few Q&A
The emblem is a white circle with black edge. At the bottom is Navy wings and on it is a 'monkey' (without hopefully offending if wrong!) standing/surfing on it. The character has a 'Uncle Sam' style hat and we are trying to establish if it carrying a bomb in the left hand and a scythe in the right.
VF-33 at the same time also had a Monkey as an emblem.
It might be that someone else knows a bit more about the reasoning - could it be carrying something else. There is usually a reason behind an emblem and would like to have some feedback ideas.
Have a good weekend

Mark
