	Use a texture map, like this (untested so I may have screwed up somewhere)
:

#declare T_Tail_With_Image=
texture {C1b}
texture {
 pigment {
  image_map {
   gif "altairsign.gif"
   map_type 0
   once
   filter 0,1
  }
  scale <3,2,1> translate <-3,-1,0.05>
 }
}

object {
 tailwing
 texture {
  gradient z
  texture_map {
   [0.5 texture { C1b } ]
   [0.5 texture { T_Tail_With_Image } ]
  }
 }
 translate <-7,4,-0.02>
}

Or something like that.
