I was online looking up various WW2 AAF unit emblems and ran across the image below of a Base sign posted at the location , "Lymington Airfield" , on the sign near bottom the emblem 2nd from the right is of the 81st Fighter Squadron, I have never seen this emblem as depicted and am seeking what the "Latin" motto says on the banner crossing the shield......

If you can help with this Please post here , much thanks !!!!!!
Johnny

FIEN(?) SID JUSTA

S I D Stands for Semel In Die literally 'once a day' it's an acronym - doctors use the acronym on drug prescriptions.
JUSTA translates from the Latin as joust or tournament. I can't read the first word. You really need a Latin scholar to give the meaning of the phrase rather than the literal translation.
Or the middle word might be SED which translates as ' but also' or 'what is more' which makes more sense in this context.
Why not contact the copyright owner of the pic on the geographia link above?
