USAF units that have a provenance running back to the Army Air Corps

of Heraldry - TIOH - and predeccessor outfits in the QMC), and those
may have French or Latin mottos, or they may be in another language.


Nothing to do with mottos, but these are the people who designed the
old NASA "meatball" logo, with inputs from the Agency. The "worm"
logo was an expensive design by a fancy company and the Agency
returned to the old logo by popular request about a decade after the
"worm" logo was introduced.
