Recently came into possession of 2 but 13 star button shirt jackets.Both have 556th stencil painted over left breast pocket and on upper center back of jacket.Was wondering was there any way of knowing which unit they were from.

From what I have found , it appears that the 556th was part of a Bomb Squadron that was attached to the 8th and 9th Air Forces in WW2, there logo was a Tiger sitting on a bomb, but there were other units with the same 556th logo, whether this is the correct unit , it is hard to say
