Original Description:
1940s WWII U.S. Navy "Mosquito Fleet" PT Boat Insignia Hand Painted Nose Art
A rare WWII 1940s hand painted Walt Disney Studio designed, "Mosquito Fleet" insignia from the PT Boat Unit (Naval Patrol Torpedo fast boat).
Hank Porter, a Disney Studio artist, is credited with the original MF insignia design upon request in 1941. Mr. Porter would go on to design 100s of U.S. insignia designs for all the branches, this one being the first design.
Hand painted on tight grain mahogan...y plywood with spar varnish top coat. This insignia was likely painted by a PT boat crew member and probably hung on the wall below deck on one of the boats. A rare piece of history from one of the most revered military units of the war. Similar examples in museum collections.

Measures 10" diameter. Fine condition with minimal surface wear.
