Bomber Command - Poppy Salute.

WWII aviation inspired backpiece. Inspired by his interest in WWII history, he chose the design as a cover up of an earlier piece — hence the reason for the night bombing scene depicted, though he noted he knows the Americans didn’t utilize night bombing missions that much.
