dave Posted March 20, 2012 Author Share Posted March 20, 2012 Thanks! Yeah, far too much time watching old war movies as a kid. WWI seems so much more romanciful 90 years on and not through a cloud of mustard gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antonio carroccio Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Dunno know what you mean, but IMHO it'is handy to know where this Frecce Tricolori come from. WW1??? No, not at all, Frecce Tricoli becomes poupulair with the crash in Germany in 1988. That's far away from WW1. WW1 was 1915-1918. The crash of the Frecce Tricolori was 70 years later.

dave Posted March 20, 2012 Author Share Posted March 20, 2012 I was unaware of the crash until these posts. I was using what I thought was the adopted insignia of the Italian army flying corps in for WWI and the air corps for WWII. But am not Italian nor an expert (understatement ) on 20th century Italian history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave Posted March 20, 2012 Author Share Posted March 20, 2012 I got curious about the roundel being red or green centered. As far as I can google, the red belongs to WWI with the allies and the green center to WWII post axis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
