NO. 4 SQUADRON The No. 4 Squadron of Air Force was formed at Peshawar on Feb 1, 1942, under the command of Sqn Ldr Hu 'Bulbul' Khan. The crest, which was adopted in 1944 consists of an Oorial head with the Ashoka on top and the Squadron’s Motto ‘Maan par Jhan’ meaning 'Honour unto death' written below. The oorial was named after the local mountain sheep present in the Peshawar area where the squadron used to conduct ops. This was to symbolise the qualities of endurance, strength and the fighting spirit that makes it fight to death rather than lose face and honour by turning away.
