images by Nozomi Kariyasu, 11 May 2024The Czech Republic (or its "Vzdušné síly armády České republiky")
uses the same markings as the former Czechoslovakia.
The Ceskoslovenske Letectvo was formed in 29 October 1918 (dissolved
14 March 1939) and adopted a "classic" roundel of white-blue-red also used
as fin-flash.
According to Cochrane & Elliott's Military Aircraft Insignia of the World, 1998 [cos98] this marking was in use until 1920, but some planes probably continued its use.
Those markings were changed to regular flag.
In 1921 the Airforce adopted the roundel that we know until today also
as fin-flash.
It was used until 1939 and since 1945 by the Ceskoslovenske Vojenske
Letectvo
During WWII, RAF sqadrons 310-313 were all Czech units and flew with small Czech roundel beside their regular RAF markings.
We show the roundel bordered in blue as appaer at (from 1993).
I thing that is a mistake and if there should be a border it must be
white.
There is also a low visibilty marking as appear at this
page.
