Roberto:

The book 'Combat Squadrons of the Air Forces, World War II', edited by Maurer Maurer, USAF Historical Division, Air University, Department of the Air Force, 1969 [U.S. Government Printing Office] pp.684-686, detail the squadron emblems and approvals (for the 612, 163, 614 and 615.

I have used library copies for my reference work. I don't know if new copies are available for sale, but some used military book stores may know (or have copies).
