Archez Bien - Shoot Well


Sgt. Ennis F. Howe, Jr.

Photos and history provided by his daughter Mary Williams.



Left Photo: Ennis Howe of the 5th Combat Mapping Squadron as a Corporal.

I don't know if this was the official insignia for the 3rd Photographic Reconnaissance Group, the 5th Combat Mapping Squadron, another squadron, or just some doodling by Ennis Howe, but I have taken the liberty to use it as a template to create the insignia at the top of these pages for 3rd Photographic Group, Reconnaissance. The only official information I have regarding the groups insignia is the following:
Insigne. Shield: Per chevron or and azure, in center chief point a sylized camera, lens to base sable, Motto: Archez Bien - Shoot Well. (Approved 29 Oct 1942.)
