Mascot of the Month: Stylish Dog – 316 Squadron Mascot

Taking a break from our series of Warsaw Uprising blog posts — it’s time for our Mascot of the Month!

The name of this stylish mascot from 316 Squadron is unknown, but it’s not for a lack of character! His cool-looking shades are aviator sunglasses that were standard issue to RAF pilots throughout World War II.

In the background is a fighter plane of 316 Squadron. Officially formed on February 15, 1941 and operating until December 1946, 316 Squadron was a day fighter squadron. It was named “City of Warsaw” after the capital of Poland — a name shared with the famous 303 Squadron which was, however, better known as the “Kościuszko Squadron.”
