So, if any one knows where I can find the patches or a picture of them I would be greatful. Oh. and I'm not looking for originals, reproduction would do nicely.
Thanks, Mitch

There are two official books that have the patches, that may be available in your local library (or available through its inter-library lending program). I don't recall if all insignia are shown in color, though:
1. Combat Squadrons of the Air Force, WWII, by Maurer Maurer, pub.1969, USAF Hist. Div., Air University; and
2. Air Force Combat Units of World War II, 1961, 1983; Maurer Maurer, Pub.1960, Dept. of the Air Force; ISBN 0-89201-092-4.
The other source is:
1. USAF Academy, Libraries, www.usafa.af.mil. I believe there is a 'contact us' E-mail address at the site, and you could request the 614SQ insignia - they may be able to send you an image, in color.
