The Ministry of National Defense’s flagship military television show, “Fighting! A New Perspective for All,” coproduced by Formosa TV, reveals the secrets of air force squadron emblems, many of which incorporate cartoons. The emblem of the 26th Squadron is a witch on a broom holding a spiked club, the 7th Squadron’s is the big bad wolf, and the 28th Squadron’s is a fire-breathing dragon. All of them were created by none other than cartoon master Walt Disney himself.

After completing a thorough check of the jet’s system, it hits the runway and prepares for takeoff.

Those who look carefully may notice a cartoon on the side of the jet of a witch on a broom, holding a spiked club. This is the creative emblem for the air force’s 26th Squadron.

Lai Chien-hao
26th Squadron pilot
The witch riding a broom symbolizes agility and lightning speed, as fast as the wind. The spiked club she holds represents our extremely powerful combat capabilities that can strike the enemy hard.

This cartoon emblem was actually designed by the famous cartoonist Walt Disney.

Wang Li-chen
Military historian
In the beginning, there was a pilot who was either friends or family with Disney who asked him to draw something for him. When Disney finished the drawing, other people thought it was quite good, so they started approaching him for more designs.

During World War II, the Republic of China’s military joined forces with the US in the fight against Japan. Disney also designed the distinctive emblem for this multinational team that remains unchanged to this day.

Yang Yi-hsuan
26th Squadron officer
The witch represents vitality, and her powerful magic represents unlimited possibilities. It’s very different from what I usually associate with a combat squadron, but I liked it the moment I saw it. It gives a sense of liveliness and enthusiasm.

In addition to the 26th Squadron’s witch, the 7th Squadron’s big bad wolf emblem and the 28th Squadron’s fire-breathing dragon were also designed by Disney. The dragon’s hat originally displayed the stars from the US flag, but was changed to display the star from Taiwan’s flag. An expert shared just how challenging these emblems are to draw.

Voice of Huang Ming-mai
Armaments Bureau sergeant
If I drew the witch myself, it would take me about two hours. But for the big bad wolf, it might take me almost four hours to decide on a final version.

These creative cartoon emblems display the history of Taiwan’s air force since World War II. Today’s pilots defend Taiwan’s airspace under the same emblems as their predecessors.
