This picture is of a World War 2 era flag which is on display at the
Edmonton Air Museum. The illustration, presented to Captain Tom Langeste in
October 1990 is of the flag of 418 Squadron RCAF, which was Canada's
highest-scoring squadron in WWII, in terms of both air-to-air and
air-to-ground kills, and in terms of both day and night operations. Depicted
in the middle of the flag is the Squadron badge which features an Inuit
hunter in traditional clothes and spear with the Northern Lights in the
background. The Squadron motto in Inuktitut is Piyautailili ('Defend Even
Unto Death').
