This official mascot was designed by Walt Disney for a proposed film (from  Roahl Dahl's book, "The Gremlins".   During WWII,  the WASP asked for permission to use her as the official mascot and the Disney Company generously agreed.   Official Fifinella 'went to war' and was worn in the form of  patches.  Some were leather, some were cloth...worn on WASP flight jackets.

This ORIGINAL patch is also pictured on Deanie's flight jacket.
