The von Rosen swastika Erik von Rosen had been using a swastika as a personal owner's mark. He originally saw the symbol on rune stones in Gotland, while being at school. Knowing that the symbol signified good luck for the vikings, he utilized the symbol and had it carved into all his luggage when going on an expedition to South America in 1901. Being a friend of Finland, he gave the newly independent state an aircraft, which signified the beginning of the Finnish Air Force. The aircraft, a license manufactured Morane-Saulnier MS Parasol/Thulin D, was marked with this his sign, a blue swastika on a white background. The Finnish Air Force adopted this as their national insignia.
