The crest of 405 Long Range Patrol Squadron depicts an eagle's head facing to the sinister and holding in the beak a sprig of maple. Its motto refers to the fact that this was the first and only Royal Canadian Air Force Pathfinder squadron. The eagle's head which faces the sinister suggests leadership, is derived from the pathfinder badge
LOGAN'S HEROS
Among the others on board of the ill-fated Halifax bomber was co-pilot Emerson Lloyd Logan and his story and that of the remaining crew members of the Halifax II bomber and their own heroic efforts to evade capture and for some, to escape back to England, are stories that must be told. And not unlike the TV series, their stories of valor, resistance and survival, accurately identifies them ALL as true “heroes” and it becomes a fitting “title” to this story, with an obvious slight variation.
Their story is entitled-Logan’s Heroes.
