Airborne Forces (Pegasus) Blazer Badge

Airborne Forces (Pegasus) Blazer Badge


Airborne Forces Imported Regimental Blazer badge of excellent quality.

With airborne motto "AD UNUM OMNES" - "all for one and one for all"

Wonderfully precise details in the manufacture. See image for details.

The ancient Greek gods Pegasus (winged horse) and Bellerophon are the motif for the badge of the Airborne Forces.

Airborne forces can be divided into three categories:

    * Paratroopers — landed by parachute from aircraft,
    * Airlanding troops — landed by aircraft (usually glider),
    * Air assault troops or airmobile infantry — transported to the battle by helicopter or by aircraft.

The basic premise of the Airborne is that they can arrive with such speed that a coherent defence cannot be mounted against them for some time. It is assumed that this tactical advantage cannot be sustained for very long, so effective Airborne missions require the rapid advance of ground based troops in support.

The British 1st Airborne Division fought in World War II. It suffered terrible casualties, especially in Operation Market Garden. The unit was the first to use the maroon beret, now an internationally recognised symbol of elite airborne forces.
