Excellent- just what I needed! Thanks so much- I owe you one.

Luxembourg Piper Cubs

I am very curious about the attached image of a Piper Cub from Luxembourg. Does anybody have details about markings and colors? Were the roundels repeated on the upper and lower wings? Was the serial repeated on the wings?

It Looks Georgian

Well, it certainly looks Georgian, but I have never seen that variation of the roundel. The number of points on the star is right, but the standard Georgian insignia has the star in a white circle that is surrounded by a black ring.

Viet Cong A-37s

I have attached a profile of a Viet Cong A-37 from the Wings Palette web site.

Another Mystery About This Image

Another mystery about this intriguing image- if the Mi-17 is from Tajikistan, or indeed any other Islamic country, why the red cross? I understand that a red crescent is used instead of a red cross, because the symbol of the cross is so objectionable to Islam. If the operator is, in fact, Tajikistan, it will be the first image I have seen of a combat aircraft from that country. I thought their national marking was a green star, though.

Come On!

Yes, aircrafts of the former Saigon puppet regime is everywhere in VietNam. They don’t need to be taken from the grounds of the Independence Palace, I’m sure the VPAF still have more in a warehouse somewhere, but I guess VietNam have the tendency to surprise oursiders 😀

Btw, you spent some time in VietNam? Any photos to share?

You’re still fighting that war? “Aircraft of the former South Vietnamese air force” would have sounded perfectly fine; “former Saigon puppet regime” sounds like they’re still dragging you to political indoctrination/brainwashing classes every day. The ’70s are over, man…

Japanese Surrender Markings

Mitsubishi G4M2 “Betty” bomber.
Nakajima G8N “Renzan” bomber. USAAF.

The Betty, by the way, is in surrender markings mandated by the Allies at the end of hostilities in the Pacific. All Japanese aircraft were to be painted overall white, with green crosses in the former locations of the hinomarus.
