So, they launched an ad campaign based on providing full service, in co-ordination with the War Department as a wartime marketing program. This "Ground Crew Service" campaign compared the work of the service station attendant to that of an Army Air Corps crewman. As part of the effort, 8 squadron emblems were issued as part of a Ground Crew Service Promotion and were given away to customers and prospects. The emblems printed on a canvas like material were colorful and are now quite uncommon. Complete sets are rare since wartime materials scarcity limited production.
