Hello Ross.

Thank you very much for your help even I knew some of the links.

My main interest is the military part of Floyd Bennett Field, between 1931 and 1935, with the hope to see some photographs of Curtiss Helldivers, with Codes and maybe which units were there...

Sorry for my English and thank you again.

Manny at this site below there is a section on Walt Disney unit emblems and there is an old 1930's emblem that was at Floyd Bennett Field, the site adress is,
US Militaria Forum , you will have to scroll down into the topics for it,it is under a sub-topic. Good luck and hope this helps ! I am a maker of leather unit patches and found this one looking up emblems. My e mail is WeBeEmblems@aol.com

Hello ACESIGGY.

Thank you very much for your info, I already knew this insignia, But I would like to know more about the units which were at Floyd Bennett Field; codes, camouflage, type of aircraft. It seem's these aircraft were used in the first King Kong movie.

All these things to make a profile.

Thank you again for your help.
