JULY 3RD, 1941. FLIGHT \\NO JOKE FOR JERRY Comic Emblems, Beloved of the R.A.F., that the Hun Cannot "Laugh Off" NEXT to double rations and seven days' leave, the Britishfighting man loves a jest, grim or otherwise. In fact, theGermans are said to have alleged we won the last war because of our sense of humour! No section of our fighting forces keeps up this old British custom (which mystifies our enemies) with'greater zest than the R.A.F., who decorate their aircraft with cute and comic little emblems. The clown (immediately below) expresses suitable contempt of Jerry's flak and iogFs, the Ozard of Whizz (bottom left) has been adopted as the unofficial crest of a heavy bomber squadron, and, although Walt Disney never meant him to be that kind of bird, Donald Duck (bottom right) now indulges in egg-laying over enemy territory—so laugh that off Adolf!
