Description

A commemorative composite photographic montage of Lockheed Hudson aircraft and members of 13 Squadron RAAF, with a squadron badge. The badge comprises symbols of bad luck (walking under a ladder, a broken mirror, lighting three cigarettes from one match; and the date Friday the 13th), making reference to the squadron's 'unlucky' number, and bears the squadron motto, 'Fratres Diaboli' ('The Devil's Brothers).
