The Arms of the 92nd Bomb Group was approved on 9 March 1943 and on 21 November 1957 superseded by another design as seen below.

The 90th Bombardment Group had nearly the same Arms in an Azure field a flying Pterodaktyl Or languaged Gules and eyed Vert. Motto Impavide = undautedly.

This Arms was approved on 22 September 1942. As I rember it the Pterodactyl here had a more fesswise position.

304th Bomb Group. The Field is Azure and the Bombs Or. The Motto translates as "The Eagle doesn’t capture Flies". Approved on 7 November 1942.

I found a picture of the Arms of the 90th Bomb Group. The possition of the Pterodactyl appears to be more erct with wings elevated or how the possition should be blasoned.

their older heraldry is great, i especially like the ‘semi-of-bombs’ field of the 304th Bomb Group.
