Mike Burroughs sent me this update on the "Filthy Five" patch. "In the first class of Batcat replacements at Otis (Feb-Apr 68) were five CICOs. Besides yours truly (Mike Burroughs) were Maj Thurman 'Hop' Hopkins (553), Capt Tom Penn (554), 1st Lt Jim Steinfeld (553), and 1st Lt Russ Perry (553). We obviously had entirely too much time on our hands because what probably would have normally constituted about 20 or 25 days of actual training were crammed into 53 days.
"One day, Russ saw in a newspaper or magazine an article about a risque movie entited 'The Filthy Five.' Since by that time, we had become a bunch of hard-drinking (and, arguably creative) guys, somebody thought it would be cool to call ourselves 'The Filthy Five.' The article showed a marquee about the movie from a theater, so I sketched it out and fashioned it into a patch design." "Filthy Five" patch info Added 12/08/11.
Hunter Moyer sent me this possible Batcat Crazy Eight patch. Please contact me if you can provide further information. Color, about 87K, Added 03/18/12.
If any one can help identify any of the above patches please e-mail me at westin@westin553.net with the information.
Dan LeSage emailed me about a short lived patch - "During our wing formation at Otis AFB, MA many of the enlisted members of the flight crews had a lot of extra time when we were not in training. Chief Armstrong required us to report at 7 or 7:30 am and again at 1:00pm for roll call. Usually a few were assigned some cleanup detail and the rest were released. This was a daily exercise Monday through Friday. Needless to say this became very frustrating and created a lot of grumbling. After a while there was a patch designed with the identical background of the wing patch except it had a crossed mop and broom centered with the words 100 roll calls. This was the first time anybody advertised that they had accomplished the goal of 100 anything in the new 553 Wing. As I recall in my fading memory we were only able to keep the patch on several days before we were busted." If anyone can provide an image of this patch please email so I can add it to this homepage. Added 12/01/08.

7-13th Air Force. Air Force units based in Thailand, of which the 553rd Reconnaissance Wing was one such unit, came under the control of both 7th Air Force (operational control) and 13th Air Force (administrative control). I (Webmaster Larry Westin) found this patch at the D'Militaria collectibles shop in Arlington, Texas. Don't know how official it is, however it is unique. Added 12/04/02.

Batcat Wing PatchThe 553rd Wing patch was designed by Mr. Milton Caniff, famous for his cartoon character "Steve Canyon." The words "Cavete Cattam," translated from Latin mean - "Beware of the Cat."
This is the Original 553rd Patch which is very similar to the EMS/FMS/OMS patches shown below. This patch was superseeded by the official Batcat patch designed by Mr. Milton Caniff. My thanks to Ed Wier for providing the image. Color, about 57K, Added 12/18/07.

The Batcat patch is, in my opinion, one of the finest designs in the Air Force. After the 553rd Reconnaissance Wing inactivated in Dec. 1970, the patch went dormat. Later the patch was used again. A few years ago the Air Force reviewed its patches and decided to simplify them. Take a look at the patch as it used toady by the 353 Special Operations Group. NOTE the unit is now the 353rd, not 553rd. Color, about 37K, Added 12/04/02.

Except for format all 3 files are identical, just a different format to what ever works best for you. Each format has an image of the patch along with the explanation of the various symbols of the patch. Added 10/23/05.

Aircrew Patches and Flags
I've tried to standardize all aircrew patch images with the same naming convention. An example of my aircrew patch photo file naming convention - for example file name "bccp05-1.jpg." BCCP of the file name indicates BatCatCrew Patch, with the 05 being crew number 5, and the -1 being the first crew number 5.
An example the file name for an aircrew flag - for example file name "bccf08-2.jpg." BCCF of the file name indicates BatCatCrew Flag, with the 08 being crew number 8, and the -2 being the second crew number 8.
Crew numbers appear to have repeated approximately three times. First crews at Korat from about Nov 67 to Oct 68, images for crews during this period have a -1 at the end of the file name. Second crews at Korat from about Nov 68 to Oct 69, images for this period have a -2 at the end of the file name. Third and last crews at Korat from about Nov 69 to Dec 70, images for this period have a -3 at the end of the file name. The crew dash numbers are not official, rather a naming convention I developed to keep track of the images.
