The Fairbairn Sykes dagger, with upswept wings forming a spearhead reminiscent of the 1st Special Service Force, symbolizes the unit’s role as the Aviation element of the U.S. Army Special Operations Command.
The motto “VOLARE OPTIMOS,” (To Fly the Best) inscribed on a scroll, refers to Special Operations ground forces and their mission. The motto embodies the Army Special Operations Aviation ethos – their enduring commitment to maintain the sacred trust of the Special Operators they support.
100% Handcrafted from 6 different All-Natural fine hardwoods, our SPECIAL OPERATIONS AVIATION COMMAND DUI Wooden Plaque measures an 13.5" in length.
Our Artists selected 3 different hardwoods for the Wings, which our Artists carefully sculpted to create our Signature Feathered Wings.
