EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a vintage RAF Per Ardua Ad Astra badge transformed into a brooch, a cherished piece of British military history from the 1940s. The Per Ardua Ad Astra badge, meaning "Through Adversity to the Stars," is a symbol of the Royal Air Force's resilience and determination. The badge features a majestic eagle with spread wings, clutching a quiver of arrows and perched atop a golden crown. The eagle gazes intently towards the red and blue background, adorned with the Latin motto inscribed in elegant script. The brooch conversion of this historic badge adds a practical element, with the addition of a bow and pin, making it a wearable piece of jewellery. The brooch is crafted from brass, giving it an authentic and timeless appearance. The eagle's intricate details are preserved, and the bow adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the design. The Per Ardua Ad Astra badge and brooch served as a source of inspiration and pride for the members of the Royal Air Force during the challenging times of the 1940s. The symbol of the eagle soaring towards the stars represented the aspirations and hopes of the brave men and women who served in the RAF, overcoming adversity and reaching new heights. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of the Royal Air Force and the enduring significance of the Per Ardua Ad Astra motto. The RAF badge and brooch remains a cherished piece of military memorabilia and a reminder of the courage and determination of those who served in the British Flying Forces during the 1940s.
