Shortly after the end of World War II, the Public Relations Section of the War Department mailed out a letter titled "History of the 414th Night Fighter Squadron". This letter was postmarked June 24, 1945. While this letter is a great place to begin, it is incomplete. I am seeking members of the 414th and/or their family members to complete this History.

414 Insignia - Rip Bolender Jacket
Many thanks to Bill Rambow of the Mid-Atlantic Air Museum for giving us this photo of Rip Bolender's flight jacket from the 414th with their insignia patch.
Rip Bolender was the C.O. of the outfit.
Although this insignia was not considered an official one, everybody wore it.
