FINNISH AIR FORCE

Coat of arms (crest) of the Finnish Air Force
Official blazon
English blazon wanted

Origin/meaning

The Eagle and Wings (indicating a propeller) symbolises the Air Force. Originaly there was a Swastika instead of the Eagle, symbolising the First Airplane of the Air Force donated by a Swedish Count von Rosen to Finland in 1917 which was marke with a Swastika. This was the lucky Charm of the Count. Until 1944 a blue Swastika on a white roundel was the nationality sign on Finnish Air Force Airplanes. And still it can bee seen on the Colours of the Air Force Units. On top of the badge can be seen a rose from the national Coat of Arms of Finland.
