I had not a clue, so I looked it up:
Per ardua ad astra ("Through adversity to the stars"[1] or "Through struggle to the stars"[2]) is the motto of the Royal Air Force and other Commonwealth air forces such as the RAAF, RCAF, and RNZAF. It dates from 1912 and was used by the newly formed Royal Flying Corps.

The motto carved into the shelter at Stonefall cemetery in Harrogate, which has Air Force graves from many Commonwealth air forces.
