Canadian Forces RCAF 420 Squadron Heraldic Crest Patch Colour Vintage

The Canadian Forces RCAF 420 Squadron Heraldic Crest Patch is a vintage full-colour cloth insignia representing one of the Royal Canadian Air Force’s historic units. Formed during the Second World War, 420 “Snowy Owl” Squadron operated primarily as a bomber unit under the RCAF. The patch displays the official squadron heraldry, featuring a snowy owl and the squadron’s motto, “Pugnamus Finitum,” which translates to “We Fight to the Finish.” Manufactured with traditional embroidered detailing, the patch measures approximately 4 inches in height. Such crests were typically worn on uniforms, flight suits, or jackets by squadron personnel to signify unit affiliation. As a collector’s item, this authentic insignia provides a physical representation of Canadian military aviation history and the legacy of RCAF’s Bomber Command contributions. The design and coloration are consistent with issue patches from the era, suitable for historical reference or display within military memorabilia collections.
