Just in case you thought I was kidding – here’s the heraldry for the Mordor Special Mission Flying Corps, drawn by Tolkien himself.

“It apparently was a badge that applied to Sauron’s air-borne troops, probably including the later incarnations of the Nazgûl and, perhaps, any remaining dragons under Sauron’s command. The “wings” at the side of the emblem are given a feather-like texture, which might indicate that they were originally real wings. A mystifying scribble, saying “Seen from below”, actually hints that the emblem portrays one of Sauron’s flying creatures, and the small “horns” indicated between the wings and the body of the creature could then be the feet of someone riding the beast. But it is clear that if so, the portrait must be extremely stylized. On the wings can be seen the image of Sauron’s eye, multiplied like the eyes on peacock’s wings.” [x]

This is so undeniably cool.  All I can imagine now is this Nazgul Flying Corps in WW2 outfit.

This is the best thing I’ve ever seen
