Historical Information

The Singapore Air Defence Command was formed in 1968 as Singapore developed its own air-defense capability. Its early aircraft carried a simple national roundel made from concentric red, white, and red areas.

This early design belongs to the formative years of Singapore's air arm. Its colors provided a national identity while retaining the familiar concentric-circle format used by several air services.

A different roundel incorporating a stylized yin-yang design was introduced in 1973. The red-and-white circles on this sheet therefore represent the earlier marking, not the later yin-yang symbol or the subsequent lion-head design.

For an early Singapore aircraft, use the roundel with the serials and other markings appropriate to the same date. The transition between designs makes period photographs especially useful when selecting an individual airframe.
