Battle of Britan
At the hieght of the German attacks on London, the Battle of Britan paint scheme quietly appeared on Greyhound buses. It was a silent demonstration of solidarity with England and her people. Many bus companies copied the logo without understanding the meaning behind it. The graphic depicts the RAF Rondel and wings. The paint schmem is also known in American bus circles as "The Dog and Target."
