Historical Information

This sheet provides Soviet red-star national markings with a thin black outline, a style seen on a number of prewar and early-WWII Soviet aircraft.

Black-outlined red stars appeared before and during the early years of World War II and were particularly associated with the 1941–1943 period. As the war progressed, white-bordered stars became increasingly common and gradually displaced the black-outline treatment.

A useful option for accurately distinguishing early-war Soviet aircraft from later white-bordered marking schemes.
