Subject: Joseph Heller's "Catch-22" WWII bomber squadron patch

Hi...I'm trying to find out the number of the bomb squadron (and/or the Group) in which Joseph Heller, the author of the famous novel "Catch-22" served in WWII, with a source for a good photo of the squadron patch.

He flew as a B-25 bombardier in the MTO, from Corsica, and the squadron patch was a nude female holding a spear, riding a descending bomb, on a dark green background. This patch was faithfully recreated and seen on the A-2 jackets in the film version of "Catch-22."

Thanks in advance!
