It’s interesting that the Boelcke emblem so much resembles the badge of 601 (County of London) Squadron RAuxAF. It was a reserve unit (1925-1957) that, pre-war tended to recruit from the well-to-do amateur aviation enthusiasts and was nicknamed "The Millionaires Squadron".

It, is, of course, based on an element of the arms of the City of London with added wings.

This Badge is somewath curious as it lacks the Motto usualy incorporated in the RAF Badges. I acctualy believe that No 601 Squadron is the only RAF Squadron without a Motto.

Compare the emblem of KG28 to the 1960s vintage emblem of the USAF’s 417th Tactical Fighter Squadron:

I continue with the Luftwaffe Emblems:

http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/Gliederungen/AbzeichenGeschwader/StabKG30-1.JPG

Emblem of the Staff of KG 30. This Wing was raised during the Autumn/Fall of 1939, with Staff Hq in Greifswald from 15 November, I./KG 30 in Greifswald from 1 September, II./KG 30 in Barth from 23 September and III./KG 30 alson in Barth from 1 January 1940. The whole Wing was flying Junkers Ju 88. On 13 November 1944 the Wing was ordered to convert into a Fighter Unit KG (J) 30 flying Messerschmitt Bf 109 until disbanded on 18 April 1945.

 

The various Groups of the Wing used variations of the Staff Eagle Emblem, I./KG 30 had the Eagle on a white Shield, II./Kg 30 had the Eagle on a red Shield and III./KG 30 had the Eagle on a yellow Shield.

A bit OT Kraffe but the French Air Force indeed has some nice heraldic insignia:

From the Official site of the Armée de la Air (French Air Force) the Insignia of the Air Refueling Group (Groupe de Ravitallimentden vol) 02.091 "Bretange", Showing the Hermine Shield of Bretagne (Brittany).
