1/285-1/600 US Star with Red Dot Aircraft Roundel

Description

The first military aviation insignias of the United States include a star used by theUS Army Signal Corps Aviation Section, seen during the Pancho Villapunitive expedition, just over a year before American involvement in World War I began. The star was painted only on the vertical tail, in either red (the most often used color)[1]or blue (less likely, due to the strictlyorthochromatic photographyof that era, rendering the red star as a black one in period photos).At the same time, the US Navy was using a blue anchor on the rudders of its seaplanes.

Used from 1919-1942 Center red circle now inscribed within a regular pentagon formed by inner vertices of star, making red smaller than first version. Colors wereFlag RedandFlag Blueuntil late 20s when current colors ofInsignia RedandInsignia Bluewere specified
