Falcon Squadron

412 Squadron can trace its lineage to two units formed during the Second World War, 412 (Fighter) Squadron formed on 30 June 1941 and 12 Communication Squadron formed at RCASF Station Ottawa on 30 August 1940. The central device of the squadron’s badge is a falcon and the squadron proudly displays battle honours representing some of their most glorious achievements from the defence of Britain to France and Germany, 1944 – 1945.

Le 412e Escadron peut retrace ses origines jusqu’aux deux unités formées au cours de la Seconde Guerre mondiale : le 412e Escadron (de chasse) formé le 30 juin 1941 et le Escadron de Communication formé à la base de l’ARC d’Ottawa le 30 août 1940. L’élément central de l’insigne de l’escadron est un faucon et l’escadron arbore fièrement les honneurs de guerre représentant certaines de leurs réalisations les plus importantes à la défense de la Grande-Bretagne contre la France et l’Allemagne en 1944 – 1945.
