There are innumerable stories of the raven: the raven and the old woman, the raven crossing the river, the raven and the moon.
Ravens do not seem to represent death and decay or the priesthood among the native people of the north, the way they do in western European and American culture.

The Ravens used three different airplanes to accomplish their mission: the small, light 0-1 observation aircraft, armed only with white phosphorous smoke rockets; the heavier, slightly faster U-17 (Cessna 185), with the same armament, but longer range and loiter time.

Properly, "The Twa Corbies" should probably be split off, since it is recensionally different from "The Three Ravens." But this is impossible in practice, because the degenerate forms often could come from either, or indeed recombine the two.
